So...unfortunately, mine (ECF) is not a normal circumstance.

Why?  ECF has been a runtime project for many years at EF and as a 
mature project already implements the osgi remote services and rs admin 
specifications.  This impl is currently mature and used in the OSGi TCK.

Since our RSA impl has a provider architecture for discovery and 
distribution, over several years we've created a number of new providers 
using new/increasingly popular discovery and distribution transports...e.g.

discovery: etcd3 (kubernetes discovery protocol)

distribution: python<->java via py4j, gRPC

So my point is:  we are not a new project looking to be under (or move 
to) the osgi-technology project umbrella as is the usual case.  Rather, 
we have some new RS/RSA providers (under our own impl of RS/RSA) that 
could be associated with and/or distributed by the osgi-technology 
project because a) they are new osgi technology components; b) They 
extend the capabilities of OSGi remote services/RSA while remaining true 
to the current specifications (e.g. standardized meta-data for 
java<->python service-level inter-process comm).

In my view, it's only these new discovery and distribution providers 
that would be candidates for being in the osgi-technology repo...not the 
RS/RSA core impl, nor the 'older' providers.

If this situation is addressed by the normal eclipse way, please point 
me at any docs/process spec.

Thanks,

Scott
