[tools.mylyn] Eclipse Mylyn restructuring review

PMI link: Eclipse Mylyn restructuring review

The EMO is scheduling a restructuring review for the Mylyn TLP and its subprojects. As far as we can tell, these have been inactive for quite some time and the PMC seems to be dysfunctional. The proposal would be to collapse all projects into one the Eclipse Mylyn project and move it under the Eclipse Tools TLP.

Some people have demonstrated interest in trying to get the Mylyn projects back to life, so the EMO will be designating a new Project team to help during the bootstrapping process.

Any comments and pushback from the community are welcome.

Restructuring To-Do list

In order to implement the proposed changes, we need to complete the following:

• EMO (ED) approval
• Mylyn-PMC notified on the Mylyn ML
• Tools-PMC +1
• Inform the Mylyn Project teams
• Inform the Mylyn Project community using the project communication channels
• Archive Mylyn subprojects, retire committers, PLs and mentor relationships (DB and PMI) ---> the project team will revisit this after the move is completed.
• Change TLP of the "new" Eclipse Mylyn
• Designate new project team
