Hi all,

As you know `master` is painfully lagging after `release-2.x`. The
main problem is that it is still diverging (in the wrong direction).

In the Tomcat repository you can observe 4 commits within minutes,
addressing the same issue in all 4 supported branches. Can we do
something similar in Log4j? What I mean is, whenever a commit occurs
on the `master` or `release-2.x` branches we:

* either receive 2 e-mails in a short timespan (5 minutes?), that
basically mean that we need to prepare 2 commits locally before
pushing it,
* receive 1 e-mail, but the commit message (not necessarily the title)
explains why the other branch has not been touched.

I have been trying to follow this for a couple of months and it is not
always easy: sometimes I can not push a commit/PR to `release-2.x`,
because `master` requires cherry-picking 5 other commits that we
forgot to cherry-pick before. And the commit is deferred by another
day...

"Next" weekend I'll try to write down the sync status of `master` on
the Wiki. I'll break it down into modules and for `log4j-core` into
packages.

Piotr
