Understood, but PPMC members won't be watching the github instance -- we

The github branch - people would need provide a "diff" to the particular
used version using a jira entry.
All the PPMC members would need to do is watch the JIRA for merge
requests with attached diffs.
Doing a merge from a different SVN brunch into the trunk or doing a
merge from a git branch is pretty
much equally painful.
Discussion and code that happen outside Apache "don't happen" (that is how
all apache projects work).
As I said: Those groups and proposals could send it back using diffs and
entries. At this point a discussion would
be documented. So: While a community at github would "prepare" a
proposal the final discussion for a integration
would go on here.
I don't see any PPMC blindly accepting changes
that happen from outside into the official code base -- as that opens up
another legal surface that could hurt the project
Why do you think I meant it "blindly"? At the time of the merge the
contributor of that diff would need to pass ICLA if it is a substantial
contribution.
