Fwd: Moving Apache Extras

[Roger Whitcomb <Ro...@rbwhitcomb.com>]

FYI. Pivot-Extras will be moving to SourceForge in a couple of days. We will need to get our accounts moved over in order to get admin access again. I am tracking this. 

Thanks,
~Roger Whitcomb

If that's the case then the ComDev PMC as a whole can own this responsibility. We can manage it through JIRA, that way when Infra gets requests they can simply reassign to ComDev. It would be wonderful if the infra contractors could help with this workload, but I see no reason why ComDev volunteers (including me) can't help.

I'd suggest one email saying "we will do this, you will need to open a ComDev ticket to ensure you get admin access promptly". Followed by a, "we are doing it now" and a final "it's done, all further enquiries to ComDev".

> The most important thing is that we are able to delegate write access to the devs (and do so!), so this does not simply become a big data dump that just sits there. If any of you are interested in taking on that task (preferably more than one person), please do speak up :)
