We have decided to commit to integrating our fork as much as possible
into upstream and maintaining it there.

There are a lot of steps we'll need to go through to complete this
process, including all the legal and technical preparations. These will
of course take time and we're going to need some guidance.

We already have pointers on BuildBot setup so we can start the ball
rolling locally on our end. We'll start by maintaining a local patch
queue against upstream branches and submitting them through the various
review processes. I do not yet have a time estimate on when this will be
ready.

Is there a link to the paperwork requirements for code submissions? The
sooner we get the ball rolling on that the sooner we can start waiting
for it.
