Well our position is we're working toward upstreaming.
Moreover we used to develop project on our GitHub and then submit things
upstream. But now when we have more experience and lots of stuff made its
way upstream we attempt to work literally upstream. Partially having maintainer's
repositories in upstream projects partially sending patches right away.

I mean I have no copy of OpenWRT tree on GitHub. I'm sending you guys
everything once I have anything to send :)
