Wouldn't it be possible for the OpenJFX team to officially maintain a mirror at BitBucket themselves and use the same criteria for accepting a pull-request as for accepting a patch-file? Then you're sure that you can synchronize it with the main repositories without any legal or quality issues.
The contributors could link their forks and pull-requests in JIRA for documentation purposes. It would really be great if we could move on with this. -Florian Am Dienstag, 17.
