IP clearance Apache Thrift <> fbthrift?

[emmenlau]

First thanks a lot to Facebook and the fbthrift team for this great work and for releasing it to the public!

My request is not new (see #83, #132, ...) but I'd like to submit again this kind request that some of this great work can be integrated also into Apache Thrift. In my humble opinion both projects could just win from more collaboration, and both projects are already making very nice progress in their specific aspects.

So to drag out the questions into the open: Could fbthrift give IP clearance (http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html) for Apache Thrift and/or submit PRs for relevant work? And what would be needed to receive Apache Thrift changes into fbthrift, is there a similar procedure in place?

I'm on the Apache Thrift PMC so if you need anything from us, let me know...

Dear @yfeldblum , thanks a lot for self-assigning this issue. Can I kindly ask about the status? Is there someone currently looking into this topic? Thanks a lot for your interest!

There is discussion between Apache folks on this thread - it might be worth checking with the folks there.
