So far, I've spoken to Winston (Hudson) and Matthias (JGit & EGit). Both are receptive to the change. However, I'd like to de-couple their move from the actual rename, i.e. go ahead with the rename now and then start the process for moving them afterwards. The reason is that I don't like to delay the rename until all discussion with the projects have happened.

Yes, there is a Bugzilla, Forums & Newsgroups row for this for each project in the "Plan of Actions" section.

Yes, confirmed. We are absolutely certain.
