ibrahim you're further inventing misleading terms and definitions that contribute nothing useful to any reader. the "means of porting" is something that you have to go and invest the work into, that's it. it's time, sweat, work. technology cannot help you much with this, renaming the forks also changes nothing about the amount of work this will take.
write the code, merge the code, that's the process now. anybody who cares just sends patches that anybody can import into their favourite fork to the mailinglist here, or they publish here some links to a git or hg repository so that others can check the latest updates there. that's my experience so far. at this point all you're doing is speculation at best, it's verbose and spammy, and full of untruths. I do not welcome it, please stop generating noise.
