As a user (and small time contributor once) of log4cxx, I would vote for a move to a central hosting on github. I don't mind what happens to the project in terms of the apache organization as I use log4cxx as a stand-alone library - and I guess many others use log4cxx in the same fashion. However, putting it in a read-only repo is effectively declaring it dead and forcing everyone who uses it to either create individual forks or rewrite code using alternative libraries. That will be a shame for a library that probably for most users (me certainly) Just Works :-)
The trouble on github at the moment is that there are up to 40 potential forks on there with no central one - as the github.com/apache/log4cxx is very out-of-date... Just my £0.02 worth...
