OK, maybe it was easier for us because and really only a short history of 
several months.

I hope didn't bring more confusion. I just wanted to point out that Eclipse, ad 
Wayne especially, has been always open to discussion over “have tos” and were 
very helpful. At worst, you’ll get through explanation for “have to” if you 
ask, as Wayne just proved with his reply.

Thanks Wayne, you and others from Eclipse are really helpful and it's been a 
pleasure to work with you.

That may be true in some areas, but I fought hard to avoid squashing history 
when my project joined Eclipse and lost. I don't think you can avoid it.

What? We were told we had to squash history when moving…

As an Eclipse MicroProfile commiter, I know there are 2 options to create a 
github repo at Eclipse 

 - create a new empty repo based on Eclipse template (EPL license file, etc.)
 - migrate an existing repo under the Eclipse github org, preserving history, 
issues and everything else

As an example of the second option, have a look at 
https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-config - it was migrated under eclipse 
org this year, but there are still issues and commits dated to 2016 - 
everything was preserved from day 1.

So I wouldn't be afraid of losing history.

Yes. You might want to add the tag "initial-code-contribution" as tag.
I used "Initial Code Contribution - CQ 7916" at the first commit to
ensure proper referencing to IPZilla.

I also agree that an BugZilla issue is the best way to move forward.

Cheers,

Oliver
