[technology-pmc] IP process for multiple "same source" contributions

["Mark Stoodley" <mstoodle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

For the OMR project, several committers
from IBM have been lining up significant contributions (> 1000 lines
each) from a pre-existing proprietary code base. IBM is expecting to continue
this process through 2016.

We have been filing an individual CQ
for each of these contributions and requesting to use the parallel IP process,
but even so our CQs sometimes take a while to get the necessary approvals
to commit to the project repo.

I know the parallel IP process is already
streamlining things greatly here, but is there any way to further streamline
the process for these multiple expected contributions? Since they are all
basically the same pedigree (IBM, multiple authors), is there any way "reuse"
one CQ (they are all still open) so we can move this code into the OMR
repository more efficiently?
