Thanks for the sharp eyes, Anthony!
Activation is one of the Jakarta specifications under the former Java SE umbrella and currently included in JDK 8. It was decided that we'd focus on the EE specs not already in the JVM and come back to the SE specs when there's time.
The translation for the above is not "nothing to see here, move along", but actually, congratulations you spotted a prime, unspoken, place to contribute if you'd like the honor to get in the commit history :) If you wanted to make the changes to the Activation project to add a boilerplate spec, clean up the javadoc and scrub the trademarks, it would be an absolutely wonderful thing to tee up for vote after we get the critical specs cleared.
The current schedule has PRs lined up for review every 2-3 days till August 27th. We could get this up immediately after. If it happens to magically get in perfect shape and we find ourselves waiting on other specs, perhaps even before.
Side note, it's incredibly encouraging to know there are people out there paying close attention and feeling welcome to jump in. That's a great sign.
