Well... we do have a lot of documentation...
Grouping is more of a convenience. It's not required,
but--rather--an attempt to make it easy to identify a large number
of build and test dependencies without having to create a whole
bunch of CQs.
There's no reason to consolidate now. In fact, consolidating will
just make more work for everybody.
This is an example of something that we need to do a better job of
disseminating to save everybody some time and energy. It's on my
list (but has been for a while, unfortunately).
Frankly, it's the PMC's job to "pre-screen" CQs for the IP Team. In
the case of a works-with or exempt pre-req designation, the IP Team
depends on the PMC to make sure that the request makes technical
sense and to best of the PMC's ability determine that it fits the
definition.

Thanks Wayne, not sure I was aware of that
document ... or ... I was aware but have forgotten.
The part of that document that I like
best is "Test and build dependencies may be grouped
together in a single contribution
questionnaire (CQ) "
:)
Perhaps the IP Team can help "pre-screen"
CQs and direct projects to do that grouping, if in fact the
project agrees
the rest of the conditions are met (i.e. not distributed, not in
scm, open source only, on build machine only, etc.). It would have
made
it easier in this case to know what to review real carefully ...
and which
were almost automatically ok (I guess the PMC then just has to
sanity check,
that it is "open source", etc. -- I don't know, there might be
other cases of "incompatible licenses" ... but, don't think that
is PMC's responsibility to catch).
Elemér, I don't mean to cause you even
more work than you've done already ... which, is a lot! But, it
might help
to have your "build and test only, not distributed" items
"grouped"
in one CQ, if you think it'd help you (and us) keep track of
"current
status".

FYI,
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/IP/Test_and_Build_Dependencies
TL;DR: Build and test dependencies can be classified as "works
with"

Same as Bison, if this is a development time dependency
only, not checked into Git, and not distributed, then sounds ok as
"works
with", to me.
(I'm not even sure "development time only" dependencies are
technically
"works with", or ... if there is some better classification ...
but, I believe as long as not put in Git repo, and not distributed
with
project, that there are not many limits on "development time only"
tools.)
