You should take a look at infra-dev@ where Infra, AOO members as well
as members of other Apache projects interested in digital signatures,
have been discussing code signing requirements and ways of providing a
code signing capability.

I agree that this thread has not been productive.  But you really
should check the discussions on infra-dev@ before making statements on
whether we know how to work with other parts of the ASF.

Again, look at the discussions on infra-dev.  Your constructive input
is most welcome on those threads.  Ditto for any one else.
