Hi all,

I would like to get the community's opinion on renaming the "master"
branches for the TomEE related repositories to "main".

I see quite a few ASF projects (and other OSS projects) have made the change and I personally think we should, too, for the same reason of promoting inclusivity (see [1]).

I think we would need to update the target branch of the outstanding PRs, update GitHub actions, update the Jenkins build config + local checkouts. Anything else?

Thoughts?

Gruß
Richard
