Thanks Robin for volunteering! I think we can go through the same process as what we did for the cloud bundles and spark/flink runtime.
A good first step might be to fix forward the runtime-deps.txt definition [1]. If I remember correctly, kafka-connect-runtime has 2 bundled jars, one with Hive and one without. This can give us a good basis to make edits to the LICENSE/NOTICE files.
