[slf4j-dev] Contributing MDC-aware Executors to slf4j

[Robert Munteanu]

Hi,

When working with asynchronous programming models ( Netty,
CompletableFuture, OSGi Promises ) it becomes problematic to propagate
the MDC between the worker threads.

I see such questions asked and solutions that work more or less posted,
e.g. [1], [2], [3].

I think it would be worthwhile to provide basic utilities in the slf4j
project, otherwise everyone keeps reinventing the wheel.

I have a couple of classes ( Executor, ScheduledExecutorService ) that
work well with my setup (Netty, OSGi Promises ) and would be willing to
contribute them to slf4j.

Is there interest in accepting such a contribution?

Thanks,
Robert
