I can try to start making some suggestions now to change http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html and http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ ; what is the best delivery method for suggesting changes?

(Related thought: this would be easier if incubator website was git-based on gitbox; I could just do a pull request 😺)
