I don't think it's quite true. Mr. Greening has contacted some of us directly which is really bad form (but I'll assume it's simply his lack of knowledge of how open source works). I've kindly told him to enter a JIRA issue and contact the mailing list. He's not waited for even 1 day to get an answer before concluding that the committers had no time to answer his query. I'm personally not enclined to help Dan and I haven't seen enough of his own patches and commitment to be confident he can take on the leadership on the Maven JBoss plugin and continue supporting it in the long term (it's easy to submit a patch, it's harder to support others on the long run). I'm thus -1 to move it at this time, especially as it is used by several Maven users and we would have no control over the quality of the modifications. I'd suggest Mr. Greening to post an updated patch and attach it to the JIRA issue.
