Great. But I think that I need to clarify this point first. The license of
MKCL is GNU LGPL v3 as stated in the Copyright file of the MKCL source code
base directory.  There are a few exceptions to that in the MKCL source code
but they are for historical reasons and every new piece of work is expected
to be included under LGPL v3 terms. Therefore, you will have to acknowledge
your understanding of and agreement with this condition in some formal way.
(I think an email or a note with a pull request with a mention of it should
be enough).

Managing contributions through Github is an excellent idea. I hope you will
turn it into a frequent habit. ;-)

Done. There is now a wiki page
https://github.com/jcbeaudoin/MKCL/wiki/Port-to-Android for you to use.
Please try to edit it a bit just to make sure there is no permission issues.

And that points to the github repository the ECL port of Ageneau.
