 I just noticed that you use your own branches for collector and metrics-
 lib and assume there were no changes I should have looked at.

 should contain the two files `collector.properties` and `logback.xml`.
 Can you remove those (but leave them in the main `*.jar`)?

 Fixed in metrics-base.

 Tor Project` which I guess should also be `Implemented-By: The Tor
 Project` as in the `.jar` file.

 Fixed in Onionoo.

 or minor level saying something like: "Replaced several build files or
 parts thereof with their equivalents from the metrics-base repository to
 unify the build process among metrics code bases."  Feel free to tweak
 that sentence.  I can add it while merging.

 Added changelog entries to onionoo, collector, descriptor ;-)

 All changes on the known branches in my git repos.

 Yes!  This all might seem tedious, but while making the fixes it is
 already very much more efficient; and, I guess trying to keep all projects
 in sync without metrics-base would just cause exponentially more
 iterations if not being an impossible task in the long run.
