Proposed Website Updates

All,

I'd like to propose two updates to the website.

1. The ASF has been rolling out a new mail archive viewer, Pony Mail.  Its
getting more traction and will eventually replace the mail search and mail
archive websites.  As a result, I would like to replace the links here:
http://deltaspike.apache.org/community.html#Mailinglists to instead point
to the equivalent lists.apache.org URLs.

2. I'd like to recommend that we extend our git workflow to represent the
state of the current world.  Our guide
http://deltaspike.apache.org/suggested-git-workflows.html reflects the same
workflow we've been using for almost 5 years now, focused on patches.  I
don't want to stop encouraging people to create JIRA tickets and committing
against them, and I don't want to say that we're not accepting patches any
longer, but for external contributors I'd like to add the ability to raise
a GitHub PR.  This should help lower the barrier to participation and make
us more git centric.  We've informally accepted PRs for a while now, and
its generally worked well.  If we do agree to add PRs as a contribution
workflow, I would also like to see us add a PR builder in Jenkins, as a way
to sanity check incoming changes.
