Hi,

Just be aware that you can use git as well and modify the ASF mirror and the 
changes will go to GitHub and vice versa. People don’t have to use GitHub if 
they don’t want to.

I would suggest moving over repos quickly and continuing to make releases at 
the ASF with the work in progress disclaimer.  Alternatively you could not 
transfer right away and continue to make a couple of non ASF releases while 
things are put in order in your current bitbucket repos. Up to the project to 
decide.

The physical transfer shouldn’t take that long, fixing up all the headers and 
licenses may take longer but that’s OK when using the work in progress 
disclaimer, you can makes incubating ASF release that don’t fully comply with 
ASF policy when including that disclaimer.

Im not sure how easy that’s going to be, generally infra have made a single 
transfer and I’m not aware of any projects that tried this approach. It would 
require some discussion with infra to see what’s possible here.

Thanks,
Justin
