I created this a while back because you guys were taking forever to
release 4.8 and I needed some core functionality Lucene provided for a
client. I have added you as owner.

Ferron H,
Hello, my name is Shad Storhaug and I have been working full-time (as
a volunteer committer) on the Apache Lucene.Net project for the past 9
months. I am pleased to say that we are now ready to release our first
beta on NuGet pending a formal vote process which is expected to take
3 days. However, you can imagine my surprise and disappointment to
find that one of our new NuGet package IDs
(Lucene.Net.Analysis.Common) has already been taken.
While you probably uploaded the Lucene.Net.Analysis.Common NuGet
package with the best of intentions, it is unfortunately now a blocker
for our release
(https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/releases/tag/Lucene.Net_4_8_0_beta00001).
The new release is more than 2000 commits ahead of the 4.9.0 package.
There have been hundreds of bugs fixed, more than 100 tests that were
failing (after completing the test framework) are now passing, there
is now support for .NET Core, and the API is now much more .NET-like
than it was previously. That said, the API is completely incompatible
with the Lucene.Net.Analysis.Common package that you have uploaded.
We appreciate the fact that you and other users might be utilizing the
Lucene.Net.Analysis.Common 4.9.0 package in your projects, so I
propose we do the following to help resolve this issue:
1.Invite me (NightOwl888) to be a package owner of the NuGet package
Lucene.Net.Analysis.Common so I can invite other Apache PMC members as
owners. This will allow us to release Lucene.Net.4.8.0-beta00001 and
continue releasing new official versions after Lucene.Net.4.8.0-beta00001.
2.Hide the version 4.9.0 Lucene.Net.Analysis.Common package so it
doesn’t cause dependency conflicts when people install other official
Lucene.Net packages that depend on it. This ensures any project build
that depends on Lucene.Net.Analysis.Common 4.9.0 will still be able to
install it, but it will no longer be visible from the NuGet Package
Manager Console.
Also, we noticed that you have uploaded the NuGet package
Lucene.Net.Core. While we don’t plan on using that package ID, we
would appreciate if you would edit the details in NuGet.org’s control
panel to reflect that this is not an official package from The Apache
Software Foundation, as it is causing much confusion among our user base.
We would appreciate if you would join our efforts to make Lucene.Net
4.8.0 stable (and complete) and help pave the way for the next upgrade
of Lucene.Net from the Java Lucene project
(https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
Thanks,
Shad Storhaug (NightOwl888)
