Lorenzo, Thanks for bringing this up. So far, the non-java client support for Kafka is not very good. One of the main problems is that the current set of committers don't have the knowledge to cover all those languages that people want to port. This makes it very hard for code review, release, as well as support.
I'd like to propose the following going forward. In Apache svn, we only support a java/scala and a C client (potentially can be used to build clients in many other languages). We will commit to maintaining those clients as we release new versions. For all other languages, the client implementation can be hosted somewhere else (like github). We can link those implementations to our wiki. However, the owner of those clients are responsible for maintenance and support. This way, other non-java clients can probably be supported better than the current model. Does this make sense?
