Comment (by eighthave):

 @n8fr8 just switched Orbot to Briar's fork, which I think already includes
 that code snippet.  It is `+    implementation
 'org.briarproject:jtorctl:0.3'` which I believe comes from
 https://github.com/akwizgran/jtorctl.  So
 https://github.com/guardianproject/jtorctl should be considered a defunct
 dev fork, as far as I can tell.  How about reviving
 https://git.torproject.org/jtorctl.git as the canonical repo?

 Then I was thinking it could make sense to have jtorctl versions match the
 tor versions in terms of compatibility.  For example, if tor 0.4.3.0 adds
 the a new `SUPERFOO` command, then the jtorctl version that implements it
 would be called `org.torproject:jtorctl:0.4.3.0`
