Broadening and simplifying the netbeans contribution process is very
good and it looks as if the general response is positive. I hope this
is not just to write off netbeans silently, that would be a shame.

One think that should be carefully taken care is making sure the
current contributers are included in the effort. The initial committer
list for example does not cover the current committers to the netbeans
codebase (or at least not the complete list).

Hoping for a bright future for netbeans (Apache or not)
