Re: 5.1 Long term support?
What Oleg proposed (sorry for the top post) is fine with me.

Re: 5.1 Long term support?
I propose we do one more release of 5.1 and then focus exclusively on 4.5.x (GA) 5.2.x (GA) and 5.3.x (ALPHA). My bad, I meant 5.1.x instead of 5.0.x. 5.1.x deserves at least one one release and then we have only 4.5.x and 5.2.x. 5.3.x needs a plan with features, just bugfixes don't qualify for a new minor version. In the near future we also need to discuss how long 4.5.x should live. Many are still on it. We should so push releases for Core 4.4.x and Client 4.5.x somewhere this year. I see fixes on those branches as well. I am planning to do 4.x releases after 5.2 and 5.1 before Christmas. I will also put a proposal for 5.3 features shortly after 5.2. Deprecation of NTLM (and potentially Kerberos) alone warrants a minor version bump.

Will there be at least two more PMCs around to help me with the releases? I am here.. Great. Thank you. We should also discuss whether 5.2 will fully supersede 5.1. It is more than enough to maintain three branches, 4.5.x, 5.0.x and 5.x. I was going to open a discussion on the 5.1.x long term support after the 5.2 GA, but let's get started right away. The only reason to maintain 5.1.x in parallel to 5.2.x is to have a Java 1.7 compatible version with HTTP/2 support mainly for Android as a target platform. I see no other reason to choose 5.1 over 5.2. At the same time it looks increasingly less likely someone in their right mind would pick Java language over Kotlin on Android. The main and only reason to maintain the 5.1 line any longer is gone, in my opinion. I propose we do one more release of 5.1 and then focus exclusively on 4.5.x (GA) 5.2.x (GA) and 5.3.x (ALPHA).
