Let express my root need or requirement, then we can discuss 
implementations.

My experience is that if descriptors are moved to Avalon, they rot. 
What's worse is that people who care are excluded from making changes.

For projects I care about (and that's a *lot* of projects), I want the 
descriptors to *either* be actively maintained or someplace that 
bodewig, conor, Stephen, myself, and several others (hi leosimons and 
mpoeschl and mvdb and cmlenz!) can update.

My creating of a place where all ASF committers can update is one 
possible implementation.
