It’s a good idea, I will also ask for help in the geospatial mailing list.

I wouldn’t say that the mentors are completely inactive; we’ve had a couple of 
fruitful exchanges on various aspects of the project (e.g., we managed to 
integrate Apache SIS for raster processing during the summer). However, when it 
comes to voting, we really struggle to collect the necessary votes in a timely 
fashion.

I believe that when entering the incubator, we underestimated the amount of 
work required to comply with the Apache guidelines. The work to get the code in 
compliance was almost ready, but we didn’t expect that many test files and 
datasets would have to be replaced with synthetic data due to licensing 
concerns. Addressing this was very time-consuming, and I think we lost a lot of 
our momentum. Even if this work was far from being fun, I’m happy of what we 
did, as we managed to fix licensing issues in important upstream projects such 
as proj4j. I really hope we can now address these final issues and accelerate 
the release process. Having enough active voters will indeed be critical in 
this regard.

Best regards,

Bertil
