Identified git repos for mauve:

• https://github.com/koadman/mauve - https://darlinglab.org/ seems to be a 1 person shop
• https://github.com/ingelabs/mauve - seems to have had a healthy number of diverse contributors back when it was active

This is our last successful mauve build link, it can be unjar to find the source code. Thanks.

https://openj9-jenkins.osuosl.org/job/systemtest.getDependency/51/ still failed.
I am considering backing the changes and branching out for the January release.

Moving forward, we should compare source code in the jar (#5760 (comment)) with identified mauve git repos and build from the update to date material. We might also want to keep a copy ourselves as a backup in case the personal git repo is deleted.
