</span>I like the idea with mirroring Fedora Git to GitHub. Read only mirror<br>
just to be a dedicated place for that kind of contributions (via pull<br>
requests). GitHub is currently probably the most popular Git hosted<br>
repositories provider. Maintainers could subscribe to their project on<br>
GitHub to get notifications about the new PRs (or it could be done<br>
automatically if GitHub login is associated with FAS).<br>
<br>
There could be optionally a support in fedpkg for merging that PRs<br>
easily (or just an Git alias to do it - with one precised repo location<br>
it would not be a problem).<br>
<br>
Automatic mirroring could be probably done automatically by GitHub.<br>
Things like GitHub account association in FAS or CLA verification<br>

require some additional work.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless I agree with Kevin about dependence on GitHub in that<br>
element of the workflow (although not the crucial one). Maybe GitHub<br>
integration would not be so beneficial as probably most of the<br>
contributions come from people already related to Fedora and it would be<br>
better to have that interface in the internal Fedora infrastructure one day.<br>
