Nothing is stopping you from setting something up. Github is usually the
easiest way.
It doesn't sound like that is what you want, however. I don't understand
why not.

Hmm... I must have misunderstood the comment about CM not being interested
in hosting "these components".

Strong words. Such statements are often frustrating to others. It does
sound like the community has dwindled, perhaps beyond repair.

You can never go home. No project stays the same.

significant counter-positions.

don't have a seed community, then incubator is the wrong place. You need to
have more than just you.

Incubator is not a place to rethink code. It is primarily for building
community.
