So our opinion is to go ahead and integrate stuff that can be brough up to speed. Once we've done what we could, we would discontinue the incubator altogether.
Please speak up now, if you disagree, but please also be ready to help us out in maintenance in that case.
I'm speaking up, and I'm ready :-) 1. grok: I really think this module is worth keeping, as it can represent a bridge for logstash users wanting to migrate. The case against being the libgrok maintenance, but I feel it's not too much a risk as the ruby implementation hasn't had updates in years either 2. perl: personal feelings aside ;) I really think this kind of language binding is important to keep, for the same reason as grok: users having perl code lying around in deep dark subdirectories (who doesn't) with useful code can still use it inside syslog-ng. It permits cheap'n'dirty functionality reuse. That being said, we're not using it anymore (at least right now) 3. lua: same for perl, although we never used it. I can help with maintaining the code: we have a gitlab-ci instance, and I can write plumbing to autocompile etc.
