Pull requests from a fork of the github mirror can be used for RTC, if the 
community agrees(CouchDB already uses this [1]), but we'd need to discuss 
bypassing the entire review board - commit by committer workflow separately. 
This would be a great advantage too.

Making local commits and pushing to your own github fork, I feel is a very 
efficient workflow, and when ready it can simply be merged through pull 
requests.

I will let this thread continue till Friday, and then contact ASF infra on how 
to proceed, after which I will start a vote. If infra requires someone to 
volunteer from the project, I am more than willing to do so. If anyone else is 
interested, please let me know.


Thanks,
Hari
