I plan to collect some more input internally, but:

1. API access, does the CoDev/Bitbucket API resemble Github, and what
would API submissions mean?

2. Branches vs. Forks.  I am far from a git expert, but I'm told that
git-using CNAs should perhaps all have forks.

3. Official branches.  Could have e.g. stable and fast branches, fast
branch changes get merged into stable, a consumer can select fast at
the expense of more changes.

4. I share with Harold and perhaps others the idea that a consumer
would want to search a particular CNA's entries.  This might lead to a
completely separate, non-git experiment.  Would CNAs hosting public git
repos (possibly forks of the main repo) address the search issue?  Or
would some sort of API be necessary?
