That would be contrary to our work on consolidating services. We can have HipChat rooms for any/all projects. A simple Jira request, and you're all set. In short, the ASF is happy to have duplicative topics/projects because each community may approach a problem in different ways, with different focuses. But our Infra resources are limited, so we can't/won't stand up duplicate services. And even better when they can be outsourced (like HipChat, and increasingly GitHub).
