But I do know that the Drill team tried to continue using the github process and needed to pull back, somewhat, to fit within the Apache process. For instance, they require patches physically attached to jira cases (the patches might have been generated from pull requests, but the process is jira+patches). If they tried, and failed, to work in the "github way" then we shouldn’t try too hard. We’d blunt our swords when there are more important dragons to slay (the join combinatorics beast springs to mind). I’ve noticed that Apache infrastructure are continually making improvements to allow “modern” forms of development, so things will get easier over time. Apache supports Review board (see e.g. how Hive use it [1]). If we choose, we can use review board also. Julian [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Review+Board
