As you mentioned, tacker still using tosca-parser and heat-translator.

Although I've not joined to tacker team since starting, it might not be 
true because there was no cores of tosca-parser and heat-translator in 
tacker team. We've started to help maintenance the projects because no 
other active contributer.

Hmm, as a core of tosca-parser, I'm not sure it's a good idea because it 
is just a parser TOSCA and independent from heat-translator. In 
addition, there is no experts of Heat or HOT in current tacker team 
actually, so it might be difficult to maintain heat-translator without 
any help from heat team.

By the way, may I ask what will be happened if the governance is move on 
to tacker? Is there any extra tasks for maintenance?

Thanks,
