I think this part should be fleshed out more before a vote relying on it. > c) JIRA remains open (not merged into Commons-Dormant, > but JIRA project page displays disclaimer) How long will it remain open? > d) svn remains open (but no release without a revival VOTE) Open as in commits allowed?

Revival VOTEs are majority rule. I think if there are issues in JIRA, and patches are being submitted, that in an of itself should revive a project. Otherwise a vote based on some quorum not a majority. Think about very stable old code [3].
