The reason why no one committed to Aether beside yourself is partly that it requires to sign some CLA which only unilaterally grants rights (as we can certainly see now!). Which is another reason why I consider a fork to apache-extras a good idea. And don't come me with the argument that the Maven community is not able to maintain Maven without your help. At least there IS now a CI environment. And remember who built the git stuff on which your whole company is based upon? The argument is not that we cannot fix it becaues we are dumb little bunnies, but because the code is not under our control anymore!
