Do I need more approvals for the github/gitignore repo's maintainers to accept this PR?

Lol @DaManDOH it did. We recently turned on StaleBot in order to try and get the open PRs to a maintainable state. Do you still need this PR to be reviewed?

My personal use case is OBE, but it's a pretty minor commit.

@DaManDOH Could you provide some more docs explaining what this directory is and why it should be excluded?

As best I can recall, it was a conventional directory for Netbean's config of Maven's resultant binaries/deployables/temporals. However, this PR is about 2.5 years old. 😅

@DaManDOH I hear that. Doing my best to not let PRs sit that long again 🤞. Without some docs I can't accept the change. Up to you if you'd like to dig those up or close this PR for now.

Completely understood. Heck, this was in response to something Netbeans v16 was doing and it's up to v26. Seems Apache adopted Oracle's Java versioning cadence.

Closing this PR.
