Neat! Unfortunately something like that probably wouldn't be directly applicable for contributions to OpenStack itself, since another layer would be needed to defer the pull request (possibly indefinitely) waiting for the author to go through the CLA signing process--which is far more onerous than actually sending the review directly to Gerrit. As much as I'm not a fan having a CLA, it doesn't seem likely to go away for the core/integrated OpenStack projects any time soon. More important to me is that it could encourage continued use of services backed by proprietary, commercial tools like GitHub's over developing equivalent free software (in the libre sense). But from a purely technical perspective, that's a remarkably nifty solution! I'm also always amused to see software released under the DWTFYWTPL. -- Jeremy Stanley _______________________________________________ OpenStack-Infra mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-infra
