[epp-dev] Discontinuation of moderation / maintaining Eclipse JavaScript

[Ilya Buziuk <ibuziuk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 

Unfortunately, with new responsibilities I will not be able to moderate Eclipse _javascript_ EPP [1] for the upcoming releases anymore. Maybe someone from the community will be able to step in and replace me as a maintainer ? 

The epp itself is based on JSDT which is in a deep support phase currently (last major contributions were done for Neon.1 back to September 2016) [1]. Taking this into account and having a very promising incubation project [3] for web-developers based on LSP, it might also be relevant to consider having new EPP based on "Eclipse Wild Web Developer" as a replacement for the current Eclipse _javascript_ EPP.
