Dear members of the Mnemonic Community, tl;dr please reply to this message.
[ ] +1 retire the Mnemonic project [ ] -1 do not retire the Mnemonic project because... I am getting in touch with the Mnemonic community members in regard to the health of the project. There appears to be some work being done but almost all of the activity in the last several months is from just one person. The most recent board report states that one PMC member left in August 2020 but I was unable to find any evidence of this event. As projects mature, they will naturally reach a point where activity reduces to a level such that the project is no longer sustainable. At Apache, projects reach this stage when there are not at least 3 active PMC members providing oversight. Projects that reach this stage are usually placed in the Attic [1] or absorbed by another Apache project willing to manage its releases. On the other hand, if your project has very low activity for good reasons and has at least three active PMC members willing to perform oversight, it can remain an Apache project so long as the Board is properly informed and the project remains open and welcoming to new contributors. There was a ROLL CALL last month to which only one PMC member responded. At this time, I am requesting a formal VOTE of the Apache Mnemonic community. If you feel that this project is still viable, and able to reconstitute an active PMC with at least three members, please respond to this message accordingly. If you are a member of the PMC but have moved on or are no longer able to participate, please tell us so that the project's status is clear. Failure to respond will indicate a lack of interest in oversight. Please don't take this message as a criticism of the project or its current chair. This is an expected event in the timeline of many open source projects, and sometimes results in a renewed interest from the development community.
