Thank you for your kind reminder. The advice is very helpful. It seems I have underestimated the difficulties of project migration, while I just opened an issue for `admin-cli`: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-21263.
As for the concerns that you mentioned: - I will submit another SGA for it, as well as the other projects that are planned to be transferred. - Most contributors are already the contributors of apache/pegasus, they've all signed an ICLA. - The ready-for-transfer project is IP-cleared by all means that I know. - Do we need an additional discussion with [email protected] over donating the tools of Pegasus? We are completely open for the entire ecosystem of Pegasus to be a part of apache. And we on behalf of Xiaomi have no commercial plan to develop Pegasus to the opposite path against the apache way. I think these issues will soon get resolved. We will keep in mind the ASF trademark policy and carefully handle the projects in the future.
