Chainsaw

Chainsaw has been in limbo for far too long. There really is only 1 active committer on the project and he has been telling people to use the latest code in master in production, which is not acceptable by the Apache release policy. We either need to have a release performed by the time of the next board report in November or retire it.  

Are there any volunteers?

Depending on the state of the project, I might be interested in doing 
some development to add support for directly consuming Log4j 2's 
JsonLayout (using the parser support recently added to log4j-core).

But I'll wait with that until after one proper release has been done.

Since Scott is telling people to download the source, build it and use it I would feel safe in saying it is production ready. However, I would take a look at the web site and see if anything there needs to be updated.

If Scott can polish up whatever needs to be done before a release, I can
help coordinate the release itself. I'm not too familiar with the project,
so I wouldn't know if it's release-ready or not beforehand, though.
