Hi everyone,
Thanks for your inputs.

This is a very valid concern. We have updated the wiki page for the
proposal with a brief
outline of how we would handle this.
Regarding Gitlab, I also believe that it is theoretically superior to
GitHub (because the
interface does not use proprietary JS, among other things) but the reason
for choosing
GitHub is the visibility of a very popular hosting service, and the ease of
use for newcomers
who are often already familiar with GitHub. These and other reasons are
detailed in the
proposal.

Thanks! We'll surely take a look and see what can be generalized to other
packages.
Fran: Thanks for pointing out the GSoC schedule. If all goes well, I
believe March 12
is not an unreasonable deadline to finish the technical parts of the
migration.
Thanks,
Shardul C.
