[cdwg] Plea for contract requirements for maintenance branch(es)

[Christopher J. Morrone]

Hi folks,

Work on updating the Lustre Development Community Tree Maintenance 
contract (SFS-MAINT-001) is slow going.  One of sticking points for me 
is the topic of maintenance branches.

A couple of organizations are very interested in extending the contract 
to cover maintenance branches.  I need those of you with interest in 
doing so to provide me with the contractual requirements that you would 
like to see added.

Without requirements, I have nothing to put into writing, and without 
that we can't really begin negotiating with Intel over the changes.

If this is an area that you feel strongly about, please help propose 
concrete contract changes that you would like to see!

Chris
