• All connector repositories will remain under the ASF, which means that code will still be hosted at https://github.com/apache and all ASF policies will be followed. 
• Each connector will end up in its own connector repository. For example, https://github.com/apache/flink-connector-kafka for a Kafka connector, https://github.com/apache/flink-connector-elasticsearch for an Elasticsearch connector etc.

• The following connectors will be moved out from Flink's main repository to an individual repository:

  Kafka Upsert-Kafka Cassandra Elasticsearch Firehose Kinesis RabbitMQ Google Cloud PubSub Pulsar JDBC HBase Hive

  
  

• Only the following connectors will remain in Flink's main repository:

  Hybrid Source FileSystem DataGen Print BlackHole

  
  

• PRs for new connectors to Flink's main repository should not be merged, as these new connectors should also be hosted outside of Flink's main repository. If you have a connector that you would like to build or maintain, please reach out to the Flink Dev mailing list https://flink.apache.org/community.html for more information to get started using the external connector repository setup.
• A dedicated FLIP connector template exists to help you to come up with an initial proposal that can be presented on the mailing list. 
• The discussion threads on these topics can be found in:
  • [DISCUSS] Creating an external connector repository
  • [DISCUSS] Moving connectors from Flink to external connector repositories
  • [DISCUSS] Plan to externalize connectors and versioning 

This document outlines common rules for connectors that are developed & released separately from Flink (otherwise known as "externalized").
