Yep, and thanks! :) I just think it would be *even cooler* in a feature branch, with commits from smet...@apache.org. ;) I think the core of my message was, if the perceived red tape is the only reason you're doing this in a fork on Github, then I will cut the red tape. I mean, seriously. I will personally visit each and every one of the PMC members IRL and take them out for tea and scones and convince them to hand out commit bits to every person who indicates an interest in working on this. (* Hoping I am right in thinking I have the full support of the PMC anyway, and so the whole tea and scones things isn't entirely necessary thought might be nice anyway??) Or, let's put it another way. Simon, if you were a committer on the project already, what would you be doing? Would you be working on a feature branch? Or would you be working on a Github fork? If the answer is the former, let's just bloody make you a comitter already. ;) And if the it's the latter, well then, fair enough. I don't have a problem with Github. I think Github is great, and I am 100% behind enabling people to basically work however they like. > > I'm dead serious.
