[validator] moving to jdk 8 / git?
I'd like to make some simple changes to Commons Validator. It seems it
hasn't been touched for some time and I am not sure what the process
to deal with this is.
If we wanted to do that, what would it take? Could I help?

Will do.

A mixture of reasons:
- I'd like to use modern syntax. While I wouldn't mass change anything
(see other thread) there are many cases in the current code base that
could be clearer or have reduced code.
- the other commons modules have moved and there is value to consistency

You are subscribed to dev (and other commons lists), see:
https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committer/eax
Please contact Infra (users@infra.etc) with details of the problem.
I know they are dealing with another mail delivery issue at present.

What is it about JDK 8 that warrants updating the minimum version for
this particular component?

In terms of moving to JDK 8, it seems like it it'd warrant more of a
discussion first. Other Commons projects wanted to a do a "final
release" for the previous JDK version. I'm not sure if I could help
shepherd that or not.
In terms of moving to git: while github PRs for mirrored repositories
are alright, it'd be better if the canonical repo was in git, so you
don't lose fidelity by transferring between systems. This also does
not seem like something viable to do via a PR.
