Apache is not an historical archive.

nobody is willing to take ownership of a project (or at least put it
on a free github account), how useful a project is it?
I have had similar thoughts; but Lee stated them much more elegantly
than I. ( Thanks Lee).
It is the primary reason I have been voting '0'. I, personally don't
see the mutual benefit to either project to get donated; but do not see
any benefit in trying to block the donation from others who seem to care
about it a lot more than I.
When I last commented on Swiz; one response was
"there are a few contributors that never got their improvements / bug
fixes merged to the project so anyone using swiz is missing those."

I have no idea how moving the project to Apache Flex will address that
issue.
