For interest's sake, let me explain what's been happening with Watchdog,

scenarios.
We use Watchdog as part of the tomcat release process.
A tiny change to the Watchdog build.xml would fix [a problem], and I've
submitted a Bugzilla enhancement request with the patch. But there's no
one to act on my request
The idea of partitioning permissions within a TLP, as is extensively the
case within Jakarta, is broken. A TLP is supposed to be a single cohesive
community. Ideally, the PMC consists of all active committers. Were there
a TLP for Tomcat and related tools, I suspect that Watchdog would be in that
TLP, even if Watchdog is also useable by other containers, and you would
have the necessary access rights. Even in the current circumstance, it
seems to be that the Tomcat community might want to take responsibility for
Watchdog.
Well, I disagree that the idea is broken, but we can leave that for another thread.
Having Tomcat community take care of watchdog would be great, and it doesn't imply any major work like moving the code or site. Just paying attention to the lists and putting a notice on the Watchdog site to the effect of dormancy would be an excellent start.
