+1 for Gitbox I have been watching threads on INFRA list and been waiting to see when a good time would be to introduce the idea to the community. The Gitbox project has been going since the end of 2016 and looks as though it might be ready now as INFRA has begun moving some of their repositories to GitHub. We still need to 'apply' by submitting a ticket to INFRA and wait for approval, INFRA could still deny the move.
Advantages: - GitHub PRs are fully functional (something which stopped us earlier) - Provides ability to align committer and non-committer workflows - Removing mirror from Git at Apache to GitHub and thus removing delay in sync Disadvantages: - Permission mapping is configured on id.apache.org (need to set GitHub ID) I can't think of many disadvantages to moving to GitBox. --Mark On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 10:56 AM, Dan Smith <dsm...@pivotal.io> wrote: > I'm in favor of switching to gitbox.
