Sounds good. For inclusion into Orbit, someone would just need to file an
ATO (add to orbit CQ) and I believe they'd need to be an Orbit committer
to do so.

I definitely welcome such a change mainly because it may allow us to replace
the old content (5.0.1) with the new one (5.1.0) for newer builds (assuming
consumers of 5.0.1 can migrate)

Are there any current Orbit committers that would be interested in taking
this ?

Great, so I would say it makes sense to nominate an existing committer from
technology.eclemma to become an Orbit committer so they can maintain this
work.

Orbit CVS should have been switched to read-only making orbit-recipes that
way to get content into Orbit going forward. Instructions are in the
repository [1], and there are also commits that show roughly what content
gets pushed and how it looks.
