[DISCUSS] Move to GitHub
Folks,
We have been using GitHub for PR now for a while, it seems to work despite the fact that we still have to get used to the workflow.
We lack some privileges on the mirror to be able to use labels etc.
I would also be in favor of using Issues and why not the Wiki. Basically I personally would be in favor of a 100% move to GitHub.
There is some core discussions happening with ASF members about what that means for the very nature of an ASF project.
But I am curious,
What do you think about moving our source repo to GitHub (instead of it being a mirror) and start using the other features of github ?

Same here, love GitHub but go away from ASF...? Not sure.

so just to be clear, this is not about leaving the ASF.
This would be about moving our source code to GitHub.
We would remain an ASF project

Agree. I love Github and it works great, but make it THE primary source
for the source code and go away from ASF? Well, I'm not sure.
True, Git is distributed and that's cool, but I think we should make
sure that as a project we aren't depended on Github.

If we do abstract all issues around a infra for a Open Source project
inside/provide a business company. (Free service = you are the product,
end of free service depends of business decision, etc.) , this could be
a good thing to move to Github for their functionalities.
But, I thinks that would be better to keep the control of the source
code repo. This is the core of your work.
If we need to use the labels, and others github behaviors, why not
create a new ASF service provided by GitLab open source project ?

+1 !
This would be a HUGE time saver from a RM perspective.

I like the idea. Few issues I can think of;
- Project will become dependent on Github (but luckily, there is a migration path from Github to Gitlab, in case anything goes wrong in future)
- Github issues and wiki are quite limited, compared to JIRA and confluence
- Possible split brain issues, when both JIRA/confluence and Github issues/wiki are all used together
