Thanks for making it clearer Gwen. One less item on my to-do list. :) More below.

One thing to keep in mind (if I am not mistaken) is that only you and Guozhang have merged pull requests so far. It would be good for more committers to put the new system through its paces before we completely phase out the old one. I am particularly interested in how it works out for bigger changes; the Copycat PR ( https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/99) will be a good test, for example. Best, Ismael
