Vladimir, mind helping us to quantify this "need", please? To the best of my knowledge, nobody has reached out to us with such a request except you and Leo. Is it a gut feeling that is the basis of your justification or is there an explicit demand from the community that I am missing? I also did not see any users chiming in your voting thread. You have shared some other Log4j 1.x forks in the wild. Are these used widely?
It would be unfair to claim that the PMC is hesitant to move forward with a simple git setup plus some fix backports, the concern is much deeper than this. Not to mention the extra maintenance cost it will put on the shoulders of our limited development resources. (I know you've volunteered for maintenance, but as you also very well know, we all will be responsible.) I bet it is a matter of months people will start asking for other fixes once we make a 1.x release. The uncertainty about the project communicated will be massive and irrevertible.
