This is a vote to migrate from the existing git-wip-us infrastructure to
the currently supported gitbox infrastructure that Infra advocates for
using nowadays. Using gitbox will allow our projects to integrate better
with GitHub including the ability to merge PRs directly from the site and
the ability to push commits to GitHub and have them be automatically
mirrored back to Apache. Not only that, but new Apache projects cannot use
the old git-wip-us infrastructure anymore, so it makes sense to migrate to
the best supported option going forward.

The migration process will entail the following:

* Marking existing git repo as read-only
* Moving repo to gitbox
* Update website and pom.xml with new SCM URLs
* Update local git clones with the new remote URL(s)

Note that this vote only applies to the source code. I'm not considering
using GitHub Issues instead of Jira, for example. Note also that this vote
does not apply to the use of subversion for publishing the site (svnpubsub)
nor the use of it for publishing releases (only available via svn), though
moving the sites from svnpubsub to gitpubsub (i.e., storing the generated
site in a branch called "asf-site", similar to the "gh-pages" branch
feature on GitHub) would be a related topic to cover separately.

Please vote +1, +0, -0, or -1.
