Re: [platform-dev] Has the time come?
I agree. Maybe we can allow ECA contributors to push to a branch in the main repo?

I also find the Github process ackwards for contributions to other
repos, not sure why Github does not allow a simple way of
synchronization of forks.
But as a committer you have a simpler process. You could also create
PR from the repo directly, e.g. push to a new branch in the repo and
create a PR within the same directory. This reduces the work for
committers but still leaves the problem that contributors have to go
through the steps you described. Maybe there is a simpler way, as this
process seems quite popular but I don't know it.

For GitHub projects I always need to fork, update my fork, create the PR, force push on every review comment. For me it is much more work to contribute on a GitHub project everytime. Gerrit maybe takes more time at the beginning, but much less on the way.
