Hmmm. While I'm fairly neutral and mildly interested in DSCM, I would
venture to say that developing stuff externally from the ASF

is quite a no-no here, according to incubator rules.
All I am essentially recommending is that he prepares his patches
using some
collaborative tool before presenting them to the development team
for comment
and perhaps merge.
This is surely no different from simply saying "patches welcome" -
I'm just
dispensing some pragmatic advice at the same time.
Actually I'm not bothered by non-committers working on git to share
their findings with the community. I actually think it's an
interesting approach that might be worth some brain cycles. What
worries me is noticing that CouchDB committers themselves seem to
work on github. I don't know if you're syncing up git stuff with
stuff coming from the ASF repository (which might be kosher in a way)
or if you're actually using git as your primary development then
moving code the SVN (that's a no-no in my book).
