Change X account of apache_wicket

[keesvandieren]

Currently the location of the X account of Apache Wicket is 'end of life'.

That makes people think Wicket is no longer maintained.

If Wicket currently doesn't have social media presence, create a post to reflect this. For example: "Currently we're no longer posting updates. Join our mailing list to get in touch. https://wicket.apache.org/help/email.html"

If Wicket does have social media presence, create a post with a reference to the new social media account.

Change location 'end of life' to 'https://github.com/apache/wicket'

Maybe @dashorst has the credential of the X account? BTW, I think we could also suggest to keep up to date with our releases following the official ASF on X, if someone like to still use this social channel

Since the trademark name is used in the X user name, we may be able leverage ASF to help 'unlock' or get X/Twitter to reset the password and assign it to the PMC or a couple designated individuals on the PMC.

There's indeed a chance to ask the ASF brand dep. for help. Let's keep fingers crossed.

I've tried to contact the original owner of the Twitter account. Let's see if we get an answer

[keesvandieren]

Still silence. We can also create a new account / handle?

I opened a JIRA with Apache INFRA to get assistance at the Apache Org level:

ref: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-28098

We managed to reach the original owner of the account! Hopefully in few days we could solve this issue in the easiest way.
