> * include the patch (as an attachment?) in the PR mails https://coderwall.com/p/6aw72a/creating-patch-from-github-pull-request <- turns out GitHub has a secret URL that aids in that workflow.
Remaining: a pledge for speedy processing of these. If standards for code donations are made clear, and CLA obligations streamlined, then you have a possible way forward. If an item starts in GH-PR though, does it get entered into Jira too? I would leave it there, and complete (prosefully at least) the workflow there - 1) code-review commentary in GH, 2) conclusion statement with a reminder that the changes in question will reappear in GitHub later aftr a sync from upstream Svn@theASF, 3) close of PR.
