With 2.21.0 done, I'd like to restart discussion about switching our development platform. To recall, we had proposals about using Gerrit [1] (don't miss follow-ups in March [2]) and GitLab / gitlab.com [3].
Simultaneously the FSF has evaluated different Forge solutions [4], basically focusing on three tools: Pagure, Gitea, Sourcehut. See [5] for my evaluation about issue migration to these platforms (basically not very great). According to the linked wiki, Pagure "seems most likely, its (sic) our current focus" [6]. However Fedora's Community Platform Engineering team recently announced that they will switch to GitLab themselves [7]. As far as I understand, CPE basically maintained the project and hosted a public setup at pagure.io. They "offer it [Pagure] to the community to maintain" which leaves the future in a somewhat unclear state. To conclude, I believe we should choose one of Gerrit and GitLab and have a trial to see if the processes can be carried over. (If not, we can still give the other platform a try.) I'd propose we kind of vote, so please reply with your thoughts. Jonas P.S. I tried to keep my opinion out of the above. I'll also "vote", but probably tomorrow to not be the first :) 1: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2020-02/msg00408.html 2: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2020-03/msg00338.html 3: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2020-02/msg00249.html 4: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2020-02/msg01114.html 5: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2020-02/msg01134.html 6: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Fsf_2019_forge_evaluation 7: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/making-a-git-forge-decision/
