Sounds like a really good idea, should improve the collaboration a lot I think.
Thanks for bringing this up, guys!

DK> To move this forward…..
DK> From my reading/investigation, the only “change” that would be required
post migration would be for everyone to
DK> update the URL’s for their repos in their clones. (Change
git-wip.apache.org -> gitbox.apache.org). That’s it. So the short term
impact would be minimal.
DK> What we would gain includes:
DK> 1) writable GitHub repo - instead of pushing to apache, you COULD push to
GitHub. Not a big deal for anyone
DK> though. Most of us just do “git push” and where it goes doesn’t really
matter.
DK> 2) However, (1) allows using the “merge” button on the pull requests. For
simple pull requests, this can be easier.
DK> 3) This also allows use of the “Close” button on the pull requests for
requests that won’t be merged. No more “bogus/empty” commits to close a PR
DK> 4) It also would allow assigning reviewers and labels and such the PR’s.
We’ve never really used those (since
DK> they aren’t usable right now), but they could be useful in the future.
DK> Anyway, would anyone object if I filed a ticket to migrate? I don’t see
any major downsides as it’s just a URL
DK> change. Do you think we need a formal vote or is a lazy-consensus ok?
That said, even if we agree to file the ticket, it doesn’t mean INFRA will
approve it.
