Accepting new contributions
When accepting an external contribution we will import it into the sling-whiteboard repository. Before making a new release, we will move it to its own repository with the release manager also proposing a proper artifact id and therefore repository name.

Creating new repositories
When creating new repositories we follow the convention of deriving the repository name from the Maven artifactId. The full logic can be found in the migrate-to-git.sh script, but the gist is:
- Append
sling-to the artifact id if not there ( required by ASF infra conventions ) - Replace all dots with dashes ( ASF infra does not allow dots in repository names )
It is recommended to announce the intention on the mailing list, without calling a formal vote, since renaming repositories requires ASF infra manual intervention.
Creating a new repository is done using the web UI at https://gitbox.apache.org/ . Please use the module name from the pom file as the repository name.
