Jean-Baptiste:
1) last time you accepted my pull request
https://github.com/apache/karaf/pull/5
you had to re-process it by hand, and it is still not in svn; this
is just needless pain!
2) in comparison, after Achim gave me a blessing on my pax-url pull
https://github.com/ops4j/org.ops4j.pax.url/pull/4
I got my commit back as a snapshot the next day :-)
3) so, the essence of my proposal is this
"you are still following apache guidelines, but you use github as
primary commit source"
Thank you,
Andrei
