Phil mentioned two possible committers. Not sure if they meet requirements by ASF based on their existing contributions like JIRA, etc. to be nominated right now?
Anatole mentioned support for both JSR 382 and MicroProfile config. However the Config standardization efforts are totally fragmented between JSR 382, MicroProfile Config and a few others like DeltaSpike. MicroProfile Config like most MP efforts is a 1-3 person gig, so not much difference to Tamaya. The JSR is canibalized by that because the same people have to take care of both: https://github.com/eclipse/ConfigJSR/graphs/contributors shows there are just 2 who contributed beyond 5k LOC, one about 1.5k and everyone else less than half of that at most. The JSR should long have undergone a Renewal Ballot as per JCP.next rules (it's 13 months now since the creation on Oct 9, 2017, JCP.next mandates a Renewal Ballot after 9 months) but nobody seems to have started that, nor is Spec Lead organization Eclipse sure, what to do with it. I know from the Jakarta EE Spec Committee, that David/Tomitribe put the idea of a "jakarta.config" on the table, but that has not been decided on either. MicroProfile Config will never be a "standard", so the decision is between putting enough life into the JSR to pass the Renewal Ballot and go Final and Withdraw it. Then a downstream project like Tamaya had to implement yet another 3rd API and abandon at least one or both others it used so far. I don't think the pressure is really on Tamaya at this point and it seems the decisions for the Config spec will be made any time soon. So taking the offer of two or three committers looks like a good idea. IMO I would mention the upstream config API problem in a few words, it is nothing Tamaya itself can solve, but it has an impact also on the pace at which new releases make sense.
