There is currently no set standard procedure or policy for Github. Apache Cordova is the only project that I am aware of that uses Github as a means for patch ingestion and they require that all contributors have an ICLA on file and explicitly grant use to the ASF for that submission. Apache Usergrid (incubating) has recently decided to follow this method as well.
I am personally not a proponent of this workflow and would recommend using the tools that are currently in place and provided by infra. I have found it much easier to move from project to project and help across the board and be able to search, cross link and reference other projects issues rather than having to leave and use external systems. -Jake On Fri, Dec 13, 2013 at 2:25 PM, P.
