I will now proceed with the agreed actions.

Once the reset has been performed I will send a mail to the announce list.

I request that all changes are verified as passing the tests on
https://builds.apache.org/job/maven-jenkinsfile/ before we merge (if you
create a branch with a Jenkinsfile in the root, then the branch should be
picked up and built within 15 minutes (though the build takes closer to 2h
as it runs the tests on unix and windows with java 7 and 8)

One feature per branch is my recommendation, and let's try and get
agreement before we merge each branch
