Hi!

A number of apache-extras projects are "reserved names" that PMCs registered
before the service was publicly announced.

(For reference: see a mail to PMCs of 12 Nov 2010 in archives of
community-private)

If one tries to access those names, they are redirected to official
pages at apache .org.

For example,
[1] https://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/tomcat

Are those names currently being migrated?

As far as I see, those projects are not listed when I click on
"Tomcat" label at front page [2], so it is hard to find them, but if I
search by name (type "Tomcat" in the search box at [2] and press
Enter), they are listed.

Technically, my Google account is the owner of projects registered by
Apache Tomcat PMC.

Best regards,
