Jon,

Thanks for stepping up and making this happen. I’ve submitted a pull request 
for the bug that I mentioned in that thread.

Two things:

1) Is all of the test infrastructure checked in? I ask because the Makefile 
(and the test target) are referencing a non-existent run_tests.py in the root 
of the project. I also didn’t see any documentation on how to run the tests, 
especially the ones with GAE dependencies.

2) Is it intentional that a CLA is being required to submit patches? I’m not a 
CLA fan in general, but I understand that they may make sense in some contexts. 
However, in this case it seems unfortunate and potentially pointless to take a 
community project, pull it in as a Google project, and then require a CLA. It’s 
not like you have the copyright grant for all of the previous work so that 
requiring the CLA for new patches actually gets you any sort of licensing 
freedom or full patent protection. If you really want to go with this approach 
I’ll sign the CLA for this trivial patch, but it will likely discourage me from 
any other contribution. (I hate to keep complaining since you’ve done so much 
to move this forward - it’s just that this seems like a really strange approach 
to take).

Thanks - Karl
