A quick suggestion has come from the Eclipse Management Organization via 
the CDT team about managing code contributions.  It's really simple: If 
someone wants to contribute code to Eclipse, have then create a PR in 
Bugzilla and upload the code there.  For <100 lines of code, then we can 
automatically use it because the Eclipse web site terms of use specify 
that anything put in Bugzilla is licensed under the EPL.  For >100 lines 
of code or anything with cryptography, we still have to review it with 
the EMO to make sure that everything's kosher.

I like that this puts minimal management overhead on us for the most 
common cases, it's completely transparent, and it's traceable.


Best,

Dave Orme
