My observation is we're MicroProfile 2.0 compatible.  We would be 2.1 compatible were the OpenTracing implementation be 1.2 instead of the 1.1 we ship.

Here are the library versions from the 8.0.1 release.

lib/microprofile-health-api-1.0.jar
lib/microprofile-fault-tolerance-api-1.1.4.jar
lib/microprofile-config-api-1.3.jar
lib/microprofile-rest-client-api-1.3.3.jar
lib/microprofile-jwt-auth-api-1.1.1.jar
lib/microprofile-opentracing-api-1.1.jar
lib/microprofile-metrics-api-1.1.1.jar
lib/microprofile-openapi-api-1.0.1.jar

Yes, they are versioned independently.  Best frame of reference is the actual api jar versions.

Apache CXF provides that.

There is some overlap, but they two are not 100% the same committers.

Here's a complete list of Apache committers and projects:

In terms of who is actually active, Github stats are the best source:

 - https://github.com/apache/geronimo-config/graphs/contributors
