Hi Ceki, I've created 2 pull requests beginning of this year to improve upon the Gaffer/Groovy configuration. See for details: https://github.com/qos-ch/logback/pull/293 https://github.com/qos-ch/logback/pull/298 and corresponding JIRA issues: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1118 http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1002 Unfortunately, both pull requests are still open almost a year later. I just rebased both pull requests on the latest code, so that they are in an actual state again. Also, the pull requests are pretty much complete with unit tests and documentation updates. Is there anything more I can do to get both pull requests to be picked up? Or should I give up and use my own forked version indefinitely? On a side note, the Travis build seems to be broken since your latest commit, it gives some errors on classes Orange and FruitBasket. This causes the build for my pull requests (and nr 345 as well) to fail. Thanks, Frans
