I've received several such emails from DevFactory, and they all look exactly the same except the name of the sender..

We're always looking for people who want to work on Apache Commons Components and collaborate. We welcome any contributions to our components however there are some rules: - all communication about development should go through the mailing list ( dev@commons.apache.org) - you will need to sign a contributor license agreement [1] - we care a lot about binary compatibility of our components. So any changes you propose will have to be backwards compatible You can read more about this in our contributing guide lines [2] Regarding your proposals: we already use PMD, Findbugs and Checkstyle and there is SonarQube instance running at [3]. The SonarQube seems to be out of date, I'll have a look into this soon. If you're still interested in contributing, go for it!

Juni 2016 um 11:42 Uhr Subject: Code Quality Improvements for commons-dbutils To: <benerit...@gmail.com> Hello, I'd like to send you some pull requests to improve the maintainability of commons-dbutils. My company - DevFactory - is sponsoring me to identify and fix code quality issues and improve unit test coverage in open source projects. DevFactory is obsessed with code quality and is providing its commercially available code quality improvement service for free to qualified open-source projects. If you are interested, please let me know and we will add it to our pipeline. Our first step will be to utilize tools like PMD, FindBugs and Sonar to identify the most important issues to fix. Once we fix them, we'll follow up with some pull requests. Thanks, Ayman Elkfrawy
