The spark community has done a great job integrating github into their workflow.   Integrating this will be tricky : We need to make sure the script works.  So lets have this JIRA both *create the script to commit from github* + also *confirm that it works* by creating a pull request, and *using* the script to actually merge that pull request in . 

Lets do the same ! Heres how it works.  From sparks commiter guidelines wiki page (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Reviewing+and+Merging+Patches):

Once a patch is in good shape to merge, you can use the build-in developer script (./dev/merge_spark_pr.py) to merge it. 
This will also allow you to back-port the patch into earlier branches if required. Make sure to close the associated JIRA after you merge as well as indicating the fix versions.

1) create and test a script similar to dev/merge_spark_pr.py on a mock patch.

2) upload that script here, as a patch, for review. 

3) After review is completed - take the code which creates this patch, and create a pull request by forking apache/bigtop.git

4) Use the script in your *fork* to commit the patch with the script.
