Let me clarify. Anything that goes into the real ASF repo has to come from
someone with an iCLA, and a committer has at least to be confident that
there isn't someone else's IP involved. Beyond that, we're in the territory
of the particular's community's taste in patch control. Piling up a bunch of
contributions in a branch is, in my view, just another alternative to
stacking them up in JIRAs. If you are anticipating a large volume of
contributions from this project, you might find my Rube Goldberg contraption
attractive.
