If someone with a .edu account gets us a free Bitbucket for Open MPI, and then we use it for both research and industry stuff... at best, I think that falls into a grey area as to whether this is within Bitbucket's TOS (disclaimer: I haven't read their TOS). It still sounds like a murky prospect; I'm not sure it's within the intent of a free account.
Paying a reasonable amount for a private account isn't out of the question. Indeed, Cisco has already paid $300 for the first year of a Github account so that OMPI can have a private repo. :-\ That can be written off, if necessary, but it would be nice not to. However, paying per developer may become prohibitive -- infrequent bulk payments (e.g., $300/year) are do-able from those of us at corporations. Managing a monthly fee that is dependent upon the number of active committers (and that number changes over time) could get a bit... complex, in terms of corporate payments / reimbursements. That being said, there's quite a bit of OMPI infrastructure that is actively in use at GitHub. It would be a bit of a pain to migrate all of that *again* (from SVN/Trac -> Git/Github -> Git/Bitbucket). Remember, it's not just moving the repos (which, since most repos are now Git, is easy to move to another hosting provider); it's also moving the wiki and the tickets, too. That will take more effort. All the above being said: 1. I'll still have a look at Bitbucket today. It may be a workable model that the main OMPI repo (and wiki and tickets) is at Bitbucket, and most other repos (and wikis and tickets) are at Github. 2. I just sent a mail to Github support asking them if they plan to support per-branch push ACLs. I don't know if they'll be able to give a direct answer, but it's worth asking. It would be a little weird to span Github and Bitbucket, but the individual OMPI sub-projects are suitably independent of each other such that it could work. Indeed, we've effectively been doing that for a while (e.g., hwloc has been at Github for quite a few months now), but that was never intended to be the desired end state.
