-1 as the PR stands: This new code has zero unit tests, duplicates too much
existing code, and doesn't even compile:

You must not have run 'mvn' by itself to fix all the build issues as
documented in this PR's template!
IMO, this isn't generally useful, and I'm curious what others think. We
already have `StringUtils.split(String, String)` and this PR duplicates most of
that code.
A low-level utility method in `StringUtils` is more useful with a String
input, like `StringUtils.split(String, String)` which begs the question of why
the PR is not reusing it. Aside from that, I don't think we need to open the
door for List-to-List methods for this one case; it seems like it should be
left to the application.
Detail: The new worker method is called only once with hardcoded parameters,
so the hard-coded parameters should be removed. This feels like unfinished
copy-pasta 😞
