As I had been led to believe, Apache rules demand that pull requests
from the GitHub-verse were not allowed to be merged on the GitHub
mainline repository and then that repository synced with the Apache
master mainline one. Instead committers have to faff around with
personal Git repositories and push changesets separately to the Apache
mainline and the GitHub mainline thereby losing all the support,
simplicity, and benefit of the whole GitHub pull request
infrastructure, and moreover making the whole process annoyingly
awkward.

I'll let Cédric, Paul, Jochen, and Pascal take the lead on whether to
take this issue there. They are the people this impacts.
