Hi,
It seems that the integration between Apache and GitHub is far more advanced
than I realized. According to this blog entry[1] one only has to open a ticket
with Infrastructure to get this enabled. These are some of the features that
can be enabled:
Any Pull Request that gets opened, closed, reopened or commented on now gets
recorded on the project's mailing list
If a project has a JIRA instance, any PRs or comments on PRs that include a
JIRA ticket ID will trigger an update on that specific ticket
Replying to a GitHub comment on the dev@ mailing list will trigger a comment
being placed on GitHub (yes, it works both ways!)
As far as I understood you still can`t use it as a primary repository. Instead
all changes are made at the Apache repo and once they are replicated to GitHub
they trigger the closing of a pull request there automatically. This also means
that the fancy UI features of GitHub for merging can`t be used (please correct
me here if I am wrong)
What do you think about this? I personally would like to have a better
integration with GitHub. This should enable people to easier contribute to
Olingo.

@ Francesco: You said you are using this for Syncope. Which features have you
enabled there and does it mean much overhead to work with it? And most
importantly is it enough to open a ticket with infrastructure or are there
additional steps needed to make this work?
At Syncope we have enabled everything available :-)
No overhead, AFAICT, and the only fancy think you actually miss is the
"Merge" button - which needs to be replaced by a commit with log "This
closes #X".
In my own experience, a ticket to Infra does the job usually; sometimes
a quick visit on
https://s.apache.org/infrachat
and some kindness help as well :-)
Regards.
