    Nigel may be on holiday. His role in Eclipse Open MQ was intended
      to be transitional. He has approved PRs that have come up but
      there haven't been many. I don't know why he isn't shown as Lead.
    
    If someone has an interest in this project, we will try to make a
      transition happen smoothly. I am trying to line up some support --
      if that's what you would like.

      Wayne,
        
        
        Thanks for the update also to the contributors page. Based
          on being Spec Lead earlier that makes sense, but we may have
          to discuss in the project list for OpenMQ, whether or not
          Nigel's new roles and duties inside Oracle still allows him to
          lead the project as he did with the JSRs.
        
        
        While the API/spec probably makes sense and has relevance
          to David the strong Apache ties of Tomitribe may mean a little
          less relevance to them compared to ActiveMQ, hence he is not
          even a committer there at the moment.
        
        
        
        
        
          
          
            Any committer can initiate a vote to add a
              new committer or project lead. Any nomination should
              include a statement of merit which will become part of the
              public record. Existing project committers must then vote
              on the nomination. If after a week, we have at least three
              positive votes and no negative votes, the election is
              declared successful. Note that the PMC needs to approve
              all votes; their main role is to ensure that the process
              has been correctly followed.
              
              
              There's more information in the 
handbook.
