Publishing Dart Bindings for Thrift to Pub (pub.dartlang.org)

The thrift library for Dart has been released in 0.10.0

In order for developers to actually make use of the library, the Dart package needs to be published to https://pub.dartlang.org. The current workaround is to create a new GitHub repo with a copy of the Dart thrift library, and reference that in consuming Dart code via a Git reference, which is not ideal.

This may become a little better with Dart 1.25.0 (not released yet), which adds the ability to reference a library in a subdirectory via git. But it would still be better to explicitly publish releases for Dart to pub.dartlang.org.

Since we're creating the Dart bindings for Thrift, we are also more than willing to publish them to Pub - but we wanted to give the apache thrift team the opportunity to handle this process. Ownership of the publishing process can be shared by adding multiple email addresses to the uploader list, and the uploader list can be updated at any time. It does require a Google email address (gmail or Google Apps) to perform the upload.
