Based on the associated JIRA and from looking at the commits this pull
request contains, this needs to go through the IP Clearance process [1].
From what I can tell, it's a significant amount of code that was developed
internally at Yahoo, possibly by more than one contributor. The first commit
introduces a lot of the code, and on the surface it's unclear where it came
from.
The process is easy, we would just need a grant from Yahoo, and a list of
contributors. Then it's just a matter of filling out the paperwork and waiting
72 hrs. for review.
I'll volunteer to do all the IP Clearance work/coordination.
