At some point, yes. http://www.wired.com/2015/03/richard-stallman-how-to-make-hardware-designs-free/ > In my view, due to the decentralized nature of Git, using GitHub does > not restrict anyone's freedom. This is wrong. GitHub users run proprietary frontend scripts on their computers. This is not ethical. > Not pull requests, no issue tracking, no code review. The main advantage of GitHub is search-ability of the repository by potential new contributors and a mirror already does this task. Even though it looks pretty in my view the "code review" is an unimportant feature and it does not have to be on a web page. This is the sort of thing I do by e-mail for other projects. Continuing to mention GitHub in this thread is a waste of time. If needed, there has to be a separate conversation about writing a sync script of "something" with GitHub after the "something" is decided (be it leaving things as is or moving to savannah+git, if needed). Possibly leave it as git + savannah since a GitHub mirror and proper communication with the GNU team at Savannah already solves some of the original problems. Hope this helps - this is a rather lengthy discussion and I have a couple stuck questions I sent to the list earlier this week :) -- Svetlana A.
