I submitted a bugzilla #361234 [1] and got the following response:
--- Comment #1 from Eclipse Webmaster <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx> 2011-10-18 09:56:49 EDT ---
Since GMF-Tooling exists only as a component of the GMP project it doesn't have
it's own set of milestones etc., as they all come from the 'parent' GMP
project.
There are 2 options for 'fixing' this:
1) Break out GMF-Tooling into a product of it's own(but this may lead to some
data loss as milestones etc. don't always cleanly translate)
2) Become a committer on GMP.
#1 is our preferred choice(since every project is entitled to be a 'product'),
but I suggest you talk to the GMP PL and the Modeling PMC, just in case they
have some specific concerns(that we can hopefully address) about this.
Anthony, do you have any objections to the #1?
I obviously don't have any specific preferences here and may equally well accept any of the options.
