I know all this can be replaced by a fork & pull workflow, and I'm

There was actually some discussion in irc today about using github.
Reposting here for people that are not following irc.
It might not be a bad idea to give a try to a github based workflow
with 0.100. (git is flexible enough that giving it a try should not
have a big cost, you can easily go back to gitorious at any time).
17:26 < cjb> honestly just moving to github is probably not a bad idea IMO
17:26 < dnarvaez> I like the bug tracking stuff in github
17:26 < cjb> you'd get pull requests you can track, link between issues and
commits, it's a more standard and approachable place for
collaboration to happen, and they have export functions for
getting your data back out
17:27 < dnarvaez> for review I wonder if pull requests would work
17:27 < cjb> sure, it's what everyone else does
17:28 < dnarvaez> I suppose the infra team would be glad to have few services
less to support :)
17:30 < cjb> it made sense to run our own git when github was new and we were
opposed to everyone standardizing on a centralized (and non-free
software) web location for git repositories
17:30 < cjb> but github is huge now, and we're just losing contributors by
refusing to take part, IMO
17:30 < dnarvaez> yeah pretty much everyone is one github these days
I read a bit about the differences. For a purist the 'is not using free
software on their server' springs to mind. But maybe let's focus on the
work flow first.
The merge requests on gitorious I never used. Maybe because I was too
focused on the bug tracker or patch on email work flow. It does make
sense to have a pull workflow for bigger changes that are linked to each
other, for example a port-shell-to-gtk3 project.
I should check if I can get used to that as a general work flow model.
Maybe I check with the ayopa project to get a feeling for it.
In general, I am not opposed to useing github as we do not change the
underlying management system, and that stays the main part.

Simon
