Comment (by dustin):
Oh, I hadn't checked the licenses. That's problematic -- if we include
that in Buildbot proper, it can be construed to implicitly re-license the
whole thing.
So we have two options. One is to contact the existing contributors as
Tom suggests - probably best would be to start with Gary and see if
Canonical is willing. I suspect the other contributors will be amenable.
The other option is a clean-room re-implementation, which could be a
little bit tricky given your involvement with the existing poller. That
said, I think there's enough work to do here that a complete rewrite would
help. Among other things:
* completely separate poller and hook (and note that hooks are going to
be difficult, if not impossible, to test in buildbot)
* storing state in the db
* new addChange calling pattern
* codebases
* other features modeled on the !GitPoller
