Hey Nóirín et al., Happy New Year! I've went ahead and updated my patch on COMDEV-65 [1] with information on the org.apacheextras namespace and with the suggestion to get further information from the responsible Project Management Committees and from ComDev PMC in general. I also changed Project Committees to Project Management Committees per Nóirín's advice.
I also went ahead and (a) started a VOTE thread with the OODT PMC on the naming of oodt-pushpull-plugins at Apache Extras [2]; and (b) updated the package names on [2] to match org.apacheextras. With that, I'm considering this matter closed. Thanks for the advice everyone and best wishes in the New Year.
