Hi all,
first of all, thanks for your support: I must admit that I can follow
this kind of considerations until a certain point before getting lost.
About this:
They explicitly required that such code has to be part of the official Syncope
repository and releases...
I just want to reassure that it is mainly bad phrasing from my side: I
just wanted to emphasize that they did not intend to keep such
development private.
I am perfectly aware that no one but the PMC and the project community
are the only responsible of what is included in ASF releases.
As suggested by some people, I will then avoid any NOTICE 'improper'
entry and ask the community to add a "Thanks to" section in the release
notes (of the release that will actually contain the feature).
Regards.

As others have said, you cannot accept this clause - including that
code is a decision of the receiving PMC, you can only commit to best
efforts that will help make that happen.
...and are also asking to include in the
NOTICE file the following extract...
I also agree with others that NOTICE is not the place for such things
- in the good old Cocoon times we used
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/branches/BRANCH_2_1_X/CREDITS.txt
which works well IMO, as long as you state only true facts in there.
