I have been looking at the GitLab instance hosted at FOSS Community India's servers, <URL:https://git.fosscommunity.in/>. It's been working fine for a few months. Do the FOSS Community India people want us to make larger use of that GitLab instance for general Debian code bases? > Using github as well is up to you.

I would agree that the Debian BTS is important to maintain as the primary bug reporting system for the Debian Project, in general. Even if other platforms offer their own separate BTS, we strongly direct people to the Debian BTS and it is important to have that as a first-class venue for discussing bug reports. -- \ “In the long run, the utility of all non-Free software | `\ approaches zero.
