FWIW, I'm glad the PMC has had the chance to participate in saying what
it wants in the MOU with Sonatype. Unfortunately, such participation has
to happen as we have time, and since we're a project of volunteers it
may not happen on the timescales that companies are used to. So, if the
buck has been passed to the PMC (which seems a little strange to me),
then I'm glad.
Also, I for one don't feel like this project is being left in the lurch.
We've seen good progress on ideas and code while all of this has been
going on. I regret that this discussion has - and continues to -
escalate through all the inflammatory remarks. If we're going to find a
way to coexist peacefully after this is settled, those sorts of things
only make that job harder.

Jason, the board has not leaked the information, so rest assured

I'm not sure what information you're referring to.
Also rest assured that no one questions
Sonatypes committment to the users nor your pursuit of innovation.
We only question why Sonatype refuses to attribute Maven as
a mark of the ASF, even after I was assured by Wayne after
lunch that Sonatype would make those changes while we come up
with an acceptable MOU regarding maven.org <http://maven.org>.
No, that's not what I recall being the order of events. But everything I
know is second hand and broken telephone doesn't help anyone. You should
get on the phone with Wayne and clarify because there have been repeated
miscommunications and misunderstandings because you fail to follow up in
the timely manner, or don't follow up at all. As a result of that you've
left this project in the lurch and made Sonatype feel like an
un-welcomed part of this community. Why would we want to participate
here when we are treated like no other company involved at Apache has
ever been treated?
It would have taken you all of a day to settle the MOU issue when you
talked to Wayne last but you passed the buck to the Maven PMC instead of
dealing with it yourself. You took this out of the hands of the Maven
PMC after we had a resolution so I have no idea you passed the issue
back to them instead of driving the issue to resolution yourself. Three
weeks has passed and nothing has happened. It may very be that what are
understanding and what you relayed to the Maven PMC is not in sync. Get
on the phone with Wayne put Larry Rosen on the phone as secretary,
record the plan of action that will resolve the issue at hand and be
done with it. You've made it several more orders of magnitude more
complicated than it ever needed to be.

Jeff,
I believe this strictly falls within the purview of the Apache Board
to explain. In particular Jim, Doug and Shane.
Only the board has the right to reveal the business that has been
transacted on private lists.
Rest assured that's Sonatype's commitment to Maven users and our
pursuit of innovation with respect to Maven-related technologies has
not stopped, and will not stop.

Is there a forthcoming explanation for a seemingly Maven PMC shakeup?
I find it odd that consistently excellent contributors such as Lukas,
Brian, et al are suddenly not on the Maven PMC. This is concerning as
these are people who have drastically improved and moved Maven
forward. It's very concerning that a heavy committer such as Benjamin
is no longer committing as he has done very useful, fantastic work.
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. These events are detrimental. For us uninformed,
what happened, why is it good, what is the plan forward behind this?
