Regarding the final github address: David Strauss kindly offered the

we can settle all this this week.
Given that you are moving into the direction that I had anticipated we
needed to do ( pull-requests ) but was hesitated to ask about ( when I have
been working on my infrastructure proposal for the systemd community ) since
I though it would not fly by since it limits somewhats Lennart's "drive by
patches" concept, I have to ask is moving this to a 3rd party hosting site
the best thing to do?
yes. There are more drive-by people on github, than there are those
that know where freedesktop.org cgit is, where systemd wiki is, where
systemd mailing list is, and how to setup MTA to not mangle patches,
and send them through. And even if there are drive-by people who shoot
an email to the mailing list, we have enough reviewers / comiters who
will be able to apply that.
In my proposal which touches quite few other things ( including replacing
both bugzilla and freedesktop wiki ) which is necessary to make things work
smoothly for future growth/expansion in the community and systemd adoption,
is it not better we would host this ourselves under our own domain ( I have
already secured systemd.community domain for that purpose ) on our own
instances?
maintaining /own/ infrastructure does not improve systemd code base.
Do people prefer these things being hosted at sites which one does not have
full control over?
adequate infrastructure is sufficient here. there is no paranoia about
hypothetical full control, or lack of it. if everything fails, most of
us have systemd git clones to move things elsewhere again. Or when we
find something better to use.
There are more things that need to be done than simply move the git
repository and there are more people involved in community projects than
strictly "developers" and those needs need to be taken into account as
well.
And is not github bound to those idiotic us export control laws which
might exclude individuals from certain country's to obtain and or
contribute to the project?
