Just to make a couple of things clear, that weren't stated elsewhere in the thread:

There has been no change to who has commit privileges in Maven. Whether Benjamin (or any other committer) chooses to commit or not is his choice, for whatever reasons they might have. My guess is he's probably been busy with other things. > These events are very concerning for the forward progress of Maven. > The strong temptations for competitive products, a la Gradle, do not > allow Maven progress to stop; particularly the best progress to date > of the past year.

Things occasionally come up, but any discussion in private that veers to development or technical details gets pushed over to this list pretty quick. A recent example was the concerns about the lack of releases on the core (in contrast to the plugins), and thinking about what it takes to get more people involved. That is hardly a new thing - it's been the case as long as I've been in the project :) If anyone is concerned about the progress any part of the project is making, then by all means step up and get involved - there's plenty to be done!
