Sorry, I should have clarified the term. By "official", I mean the way Docker team uses the term (which you can read more about here <https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/official_repos/>). Short version is that the upstream project is OK with them being in Docker Hub, they've been reviewed by Docker team for best practices, Docker team does security checks on the images, and helps make sure security patches get applied quickly, and are generally a good choice for those looking for an image with the software they're after.
It doesn't mean they're endorsed by ASF, and not even that they're necessarily strongly affiliated with the upstream project. In my mind, they sit in the same place as the Windows installer; kinda official since it's maintained by someone on the Groovy team, but also kinda unofficial since it's a convenience binary not strictly following ASF standards.
