The obvious solution to the 250 line limit is that Jesper achieve committer

Srikanth has been very welcoming, and helpful in how to structure the contributions.

Perhaps creating a JDT incubator sub-project to help bring new people
along would be a good idea? That approach has worked with other teams in the
past.

In this particular case, it's the "feature branch" approach that's useful.

Patches are fine for single fixes, but for big-feature work, it'd be really helpful to have easy

access to a repo that the committers could review in, without requiring full committer status.

I chose GitHub for that, for now.
