I think the case of merge conflicts are almost non-existent for SimRel:
projects typically modify a few lines, or add a few lines, which are
independent from others. Git or even plain diff would be able to merge the
various change without pain.

We can indeed set up some new convention in the pom.xml file, either with
id, or with some comment convention such as <!-- Sign-Off 2021-03: Not
there yet --> to be replaced by <!-- Sign-Off 2021-03: mist...@redhat.com
on 20210112 --> and make the inactive contribution tool report the url of
repo for which is just after a "Not there yet" line.

There is no such tool for Tycho/category.xml at the moment; and I think
it's mostly a use-case that is related by some existing PDE and m2e
(requiring a lot of work though). One alternative would be to implement a
SimRel/Tycho specific tool; that would be more affordable. I'll investigate
about it.

That seems like a bug in the routine that turns the .aggr model to a
category.xml/pom.xml pair. I'll fix it.
