@StephanEwen To be honest I'm kind of puzzled and somewhat annoyed that a
PR that
1) adds a feature that has been on the list for at least 2 years,
2) has been tested and evaluated thoroughly, and
3) has been lying around since April and was rebased at least three times
is still open.
I was also not aware that there is a strict maintainer policy for
`flink-contrib` commits. IMHO this is a good place to expose non-critical /
exploratory / unstable features that might be of benefit for multiple users to
the project. If these turn out the be useful for enough people, I'm sure there
will be incentive to maintain them. Otherwise there is always the option to
deprecate and cleanup recent additions to the contrib prior to the next release
if nobody picked up on them.
