Hello from an airport!

Chiming in to show support for the proposal. In reference to one big org
for all of EE, I'd be in favor of separate orgs to

 1) give spec leads the most control. Aggregating control/authority to a
center usually slows things down.

 2) more closely matches current java.net org for easier migration

That said there still could be a javaee repo with forks of the other
repos. Though perhaps not worth the overhead.

The other item that would be great to see is converting the word spec to
asciidoc using the same setup as CDI
