Well, I already feel uncomfortable with moving things to one closed source platform in github, but given the advantages I accept it. However, moving things to *two* closed source platforms sounds even worse to me. If we bind our project to closed source companies I much prefer sticking to one, instead of two. Also, while I see quite a few shortcomings in github model, pure bug tracking certainly isn't where the shortcomings are, it's more about tracking patches where I am not convinced, but I doubt JIRA will fix that part for us... or will it? > I would be the one that would overseeing and handling the migration and I > was hoping David Strauss might be willing to host that infrastructure for us > and or some other place for that matter ( mini pc in systemd's HQ in German > maybe ?) I am very much of the opinion that we should be very careful when commiting to maintain our own infrastructure. You know how undermaintained fdo was, and if we do it on our own it's even worse. Administrating our own servers is a huge amount of work especially given you have to do this over a long long time continously, and our workforce is already too limited for the amount of work we have to do. One of the major benefits of github I think is that it's their very business to administer the site for us, and they'll do it as well as they possibly can. That gets substantially more difficult if we roll that all on our own, given that most of us have little desire to become administrators oursevles and we have no budget for paying one over years.
