excellent! That's what I concluded...
Here's what INFRA says:
The documentation is currently correct, though I get how it can be
misleading. Writable Git repos are hosted on git-wip-us (they have been
for a long time). Those are mirrored to git.a.o and github as read-
only. GitBox is a newer service that enables gitbox.a.o and github.com
as writable remotes. New projects are setup to use GitBox by default,
older projects still use git-wip.
We'll be updating all those docs in the future as we move to GitBox as
default (no ETA).
On github.com/apache, if you search for uima, you see hits apache/uima-uimaj and
apache/uima-uimafit (and others).
I guess pushing to apache/uima-uimafit would update gitbox.a.o, while it would
not for uima-uimaj.
Cheers. -Marshall
