CfV: JDK 7 Updates Project Dissolution and Archival

[Dalibor Topic]

Hi,

I hereby propose the dissolution and archival of the JDK 7 Updates Project.

Rationale: This Project hasn't had a Project Lead for more than six 
months [3], and no mailing list traffic in that time, either [4]. It 
hasn't seen a single commit go into its repository for more than 7 
months. [5]

Given that there has not been any interest in the OpenJDK Community in 
this Project for several months, I believe that it is time to thank all 
the former Project Leads, Reviewers, Committers, Authors and other 
Participants for their many contributions over the years and to move the 
JDK 7 Updates Project to the "dissolved" state.

As the first Project Lead for JDK 7 Updates, it was a pleasure to have 
been involved in its creation, learning the lessons from the JDK 6 
Project, and working together with many of you to come up with effective 
ways to collaborate on the maintenance of JDK update releases within the 
OpenJDK Community.

In a sort of historical symmetry, it's now my responsibility, more than 
a decade later, to initiate the steps for its archival.

With that in mind, and in accordance with the Bylaws [6], I would like 
to ask this Project's Committers to vote to dissolve and archive the JDK 
7 Updates Project. At that point its mailing list and repository will be 
closed for further contributions.

Votes are due by 19:00 UTC on April 17th, 2023.[7]

Only current JDK 7 Updates Committers [1] are eligible to vote
on this nomination.  Votes must be cast in the open by replying
to this mailing list.

For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [2].

cheers,
