I applied the patch. We already have symmetrical static and instance methods in 
the Ordering class. The new ones make total sense to me. The process is like 
this:

git fetch origin pull/NNN/head:NNN
git merge NNN
test ... change ... commit .. push

I even opened a Jira - CAY-2073 :) 

Missed the fact that javadocs were off. Still the code is fine. We can update 
the javadocs now.

IIRC asfgit is the sync process that syncs ASF Git to GitHub. Never mind that 
though. Look at the Git history instead. It only has this commit from Lon:

commit 46b45279e5c6fba5b352c777927388298e73f9c3
Author: Lon Varscsak <l*****[email protected]> 

But yeah, confusing. I think we need to make a rule to use "--no-ff" when 
merging. Then there will be a merge author in the history.

Back in the day of Jira patches, we did not require a CLA for "simple" patches. 
IIRC Git policies were at least as lenient. Anyone can confirm?
