[antlr-interest] pull requests at github

[Terence Parr]

Usually, these pull requests are one offs so a click wrap license would be ideal. Those that continue to contribute,  could sign the full meal deal.

Hmm…yeah, maybe you're right. we need a page that covers all pull requests from a particular account. 

it would be nice to have a link or text in each committed pull request to show the certificate of origin. Any ideas there?
