If it were up to me (and it isn't) I wouldn't add that section. The Software Grant process is probably not going to be used very often compared to the patch submission process and I'd rather not confuse folks about whether a patch is a donation. It is, but doesn't require as elaborate a process.
And please, let's not be so pushy. Chris is offering a generous donation while he is busy doing other things, so I think we have to be patient. And even after the software grant is recorded, the code has to undergo IP clearance by a PMC member. Quite frankly, I'm still doing IP clearance on BlazeDS and don't have the cycles to work on another donation. -Alex On 9/15/13 6:53 AM, "Sebastian Mohr" <flex.masul...@gmail.com> wrote: >@Chris Scott ...
