I think the complexity of the wpt-style setup is overkill, but I think we could do something to alleviate the community participation issue. We could perhaps keep the rust-selectors repo around and following the Servo in-tree one. PRs could still be done by external contributors the rust-selectors repo, and the current maintainers could merge those to Servo on their behalf and manually close the PRs on rust-selectors. Xiph.org does this for its repos as they are hosted on git.xiph.org but they allow PRs on GitHub.
This requires someone to write a script that will take the correct history and make new commits in rust-selectors periodically, but I think this would solve the expected minimal impact of this proposal. This would also mean in the future we could just delete rust-selectors from inside Servo without any reverse move required. jack.
