That's a great point, Burak. I think we are still figuring out when and how to redirect people when their work doesn't fit the main Spark repo, and Spark Packages should be a good destination in some cases.
Btw, my comment on JIRA (which Sean referenced) regarding rejecting more patches is here <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6889?focusedCommentId=14493394&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14493394> .
