[DISCUSS] Retire Quickstep podling from Apache Incubator

Hi!

in the past few months it has become clear that the general
activity in Quickstep has slowed down quite substantially.
Even though the mentors are not very active, but they are
more active than anyone else. :)

I know this may not be a fun discussion to have, but can anyone give
a reason why Quickstep should NOT retire from the Incubator?
(I.e. see a point in the future where activity levels are significantly higher,
where the project has made some releases, and has a diverse community
of committers and PMC members.)

Thanks,
Roman.

It would be ok to retire Quickstep, IMO. The students from this batch are nearly all graduated (nearly all at Google), and the research funding is winding down.

If there is interest, I can move the code over to GitHub, where it can continue to live.

Cheers,
