I did notice that according to the post you linked to, Spring also requires an additional step beyond a pull-request to document license compliance:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I skirted over this in the article, but it's an important point. In general, I'd like to see release change management be built right into the contribution process. The same goes for Contributor License Agreement (CLA) processing. I do not think we should be sending contributors to three different places (e.g. Github to submit a pull request, JIRA to create a issue containing duplicate information, and springsource.org to sign the CLA). It should be one integrated, streamlined process with no duplication.

It's my understanding Github has some nice hooks for customization, and we should look into those. For the time being, the project teams will need to manually ensure changes applied from pull requests get tracked with the release(s) they are included in. In addition, project teams will need to verify each contributor has signed a CLA to ensure all code contributions are clean from a licensing perspective.

Ok, that's disappointing. So much for ASF projects being part of the social coding revolution. It's a big deal, by the way. When people ask me what it's all about, I point them to this blob post by the Springframework team: http://blog.springsource.com/2010/12/21/social-coding-in-spring-projects/ I suspect you are enlightened Mark but others reading our conversation might not be.

So this guy's patch, the one I replied to, is a typo amounting to two characters. Are there ASF guidelines on size of contributions? Wether guidelines exist or not, IANAL but I believe there are practical considerations on the size of patches to not concern yourself with copyright. I've seen estimates before ranging from 20-100 lines of code.

I think the problem is around the ASF's thoughts on what it means to contribute a patch in JIRA and click the check box about donating. They seem to find that important, and you don't have the same mechanism when grabbing pull requests from github.
