Changes of any kind are welcome.  Basic rule of thumb is to post a note to the 
list and be open to changes.  You're doing both already, so great :)

On the note of things failing.  Would be great to get us setup in Hudson for CI 
and publishing binaries:  https://hudson.apache.org/hudson/

As far as I know it's a matter of filing a request here:
