Now I am aware of the reality of Maven,

Not really ...Ok....here is the reality:

$ cat pom.xml | grep "<role>Committer" | wc -l
      24
$ cat pom.xml | grep "<role>PMC" | wc -l
      27

24 Committers, 27 PMC's...=> 51 who can change the code...(i wouldn't call this an army ;-)..

The number of people who have changed code (this area: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/): I haven't checked those which are git in the meantime and i didn't check on Maven core itself...

from 2011/01/01 till 2011/12/31: 33
from 2012/01/01 till 2012/12/31: 25
from 2013/01/01 till 2013/12/31: 25
from 2014/01/01 till 2014/12/31: 26
from 2015/01/01 till today : 16 (this reduces down to platoon instead of an army ;-)..

This means in average only 50% are actively working...(2015 is not ended yet)..

Don't get me wrong here...I not blaming anybody...this is an open source project and everybody does what he/she can if he/she likes to...


> but I do not understand why a fixed bug needs votes.
Bug was fixed 09/Oct/14,
You are right. I have mistaken the bug you are referencing with another one......forget about that...

6 months holding a bug fix?

something missed. I wrote:

Furthermore nobody is holding...just we have done 49 releases on those 6 months...this means in average every 3-4 days a new release...


A fixed bug is not a new feature, why should we wait 6 months for more people 
to hit this bug, if we could solve it today?

"It has been about 6 months now since the last activity here.
I wonder, what can be done with respect to getting a 2.11 or 2.10.2
  version with this change applied?"

Can anyone tell me why no one does the release of this plugin?


Just based on lack of time...cause there are in the meantime a large
number of releases have been done and all of the members of the Maven
team are busy...You should be aware that all of the Maven team (I don't
any exception) are working on Maven in their spare time...no one is
doing this fulltime...(apart from being payed for it).

Furthermore there is no vote on the issue...

We are usually focused on issues which have more than one vote or be
more accurate having at least one vote...

and an other thing is that no one seemed to be interested in, no
feedback in the jira issue (for more than three years), nor asked
someone before...except you...

May be i'm able to check within the next days ...

Kind regards
Karl Heinz Marbaise
