Interesting. It might be because I've done a lot of the paper work in the past. Previously as part of another project (GeoScript) and more recently I filled out a form when I initially started contributing to spatial4j.... not sure.
Regardless I don't seem to have the option to do a direct edit in GitHub. Only to edit it in my own fork.
I did receive this email from eclipse:

So I tried to check out the repository directly but it just seems to hang. But I think I don't have the url quite right... is repo just "spatial4j", should i checkout with "spatial4j.git"? Regardless tried a number of permutations and none resulted in success :)
