Re: [technology-pmc] [epp-dev] EPP Policy on committers and package maintainers?

Of course, Tools has ceased being an effective catch-all as soon as scope of
projects at Eclipse has expanded beyond tooling. Some of that has been
worked around by creating additional top-level projects for work that
wouldn't reasonably fit into Tools (Runtime, Modeling, etc.), but there are
other categories that don't have a home outside of Technology today...

1. Releng... Orbit, EPP, m2e, hudson, etc.
2. Application Development Frameworks... Sapphire, Scout, etc.

There are more such categories, I am sure.

Historically, the intent was always that both Technology and Tools were
"catch-alls". Technology was for research and experimentation, and Tools was
for product-ready but-doesn't-fit-anywhere-else.
