I just want to clarify the reason for my struggles, for those who might not have read that thread:
Someone set up a GitHub mirror for maven-plugins, but the canonical repo for maven-plugins is in Subversion. That makes it very difficult to use the native git tools to handle the contributions, beacuse data only ever travels from svn to git in this case IIUC. It also makes our contributors think that merging their pull requests is an easy task, because it would be if it was all git. When we don't respond to those pull requests they might loose interest and stop creating pull requests. So it really has nothing to do with technology and has everything to do with bad timing.
