TL;DR I am planning to orphan Java packages listed below soon after Fedora 29 GA. Let me know if you want to adopt any of them. I'm in the process of transitioning maintenance of all software to modules only. The reason is that module maintenance is much easier compared to maintenance of non-modular, "ursine" packages. Starting from Fedora 29 modules are first-class citizens, so I am finally able to orphan ursine packages that are already available in modules. Ideally these packages should be retired instead of orphaning them, but these packages are build-required by a lot of other things. Unfortunately as of today modules can't be used as build-requires of ursine packages and I'm not aware of any plans to change that. Therefore I will let interested parties take maintenance of orphaned packages, or else let release engineering figure out how to retire them without breaking the whole distro. I decided to start with the following subset of ursine packages for which I am listed as PoC. Until Fedora 29 GA I will be providing all updates and fixes to these packages in all active +*release branches. After Fedora 29 GA I will orphan these packages, but I will keep providing important bugfixes for Fedora 27 and Fedora 28. After Fedora 28 EOL I will not maintain these packages in release (non-arbitrary) branches at all - I will maintain only corresponding modules. If you want to adopt any of these packages, please let me know and I will happily transfer them to you.
