So maybe just nuke the outdated parts (member lists, "state of affairs"
content), and keep the rest?
Fair point. I'll make sure we keep the parts that are still up-to-date
and/or interesting.

What about packaging gradle instead? (In the cases I looked into,
porting from gradle to maven would be rewriting the build system from
scratch. Assuming that we have tens and will have hundreds of packages
with gradle, in the long term it seems better to support gradle, even
in some partial form, than to rewrite build systems of hundreds of
packages...).
Uh. We tried. Multiple times. It just won't work, like, ever again. I
wrote a longer response here:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/re-launching-the-java-sig/19688/3
So, you are welcome to try, but I bet you'll end up in the long line
of packagers who failed to make it work.

Yep, count me in.
Thanks. I'll get your memberships set up. :)
