Rumour mill: is apache-github integration going to improve?

[Michal Mocny <mm...@google.com>]

I heard somewhere, can't remember from who, that its possible apache repos
in the future will be hosted directly on github (or maybe just that
mirroring will happen without noticeable delay and in both directions?),
and so we can move to actually accepting pull requests from github.

Is that true?  Is that potentially happening?

I ask because that may impact our decision to jump onto the
reviews.apache.org bandwagon.  I'd say its not worth learning to use if the
timeline for github is short (though that seems unlikely).

Based on what I know about The Apache Way, direct hosting on GitHub
will never happen.  "BTW, Whenever there is something that I don't
like about the way we have to do things, I blame the Apache Way for
it."

I would love if there was better mirroring for pull requests from
GitHub.  That being said, I have no problem downloading patches and
running git am on them, since I like that workflow a bit better since
it shows who vetted the commit.

some noob questions

Just doing a "Watch" repository doesn't send emails when a new pull request
or issues is created on a repo?
Watching a repo on github doesn't give the level of notification or
granularity you committers want?

What a about members of "github/apache"? I don't see any public members.
Are the Cordova committers members of the github "apache" org for the
cordova repos?

It looks like it was to do with better integration tools, rather than a
real bidirectional mirror setup. The end result is similar (simpler pull
request handling,) although the mechanism is quite different. The original
thread was from Fil on Aug 19 titled "Fw: Github tools".

FYI: Apache Infra (Daniel Gruno in particular) working on GitHub
pull request administration + notification features to integrate better
with Apache projects.
...
(1) is a web app / proxy type thing where any committers on a project
will be able to log in and close / admin pull requests on github
