[uml2-dev] UML2 committer tidy up

[Edward Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kenn and Christian

(This message BCCed to Gmail accounts that I have used in the past for Kenn Hussey and Christan Damus.)

As recommended by the EMO below, I shall terminate your Eclipse UML2 committership in two weeks (24 April 2026) unless I receive a response indicating how you wish to continue your participation. You have both made significant contributions and I would be sad to see you go completely; we need your insights. I hope that the failure to respond to the election was just a spam folder accident.

Regards

Edward Willink

Normally, declaring a project dysfunctional gives us a single opportunity to correct things. But...we clearly missed some things, so I'll take the PMC's request as approval to adjust the project further.

For reference, we declared the project dysfunctional here: https://www.eclipse.org/lists/modeling-pmc/msg05288.html

Mental note for next time: let's deal with the project leads while we're at it.

I've appointed Ed Willink as a project lead. Thanks for stepping up, Ed.

The project will remain dysfunctional as long as only two of four committers vote in elections. I recommend you consider using your awesome new powers to retire the unresponsive project lead and committers (AFAICT, we haven't heard from Kenn in two years, and it's been at least five years since we last heard from Christian). Standard practice is to announce your plans on the project dev-list; there's more discussion here.

Thanks for continuing to push on this.

Wayne

Please help this process move forward in whatever way is deemed to be
most appropriate.  Deeming the election to be successful would seem
non-controversial...
