Honestly +1 here.

I have pretty much all of my repos hosted under Github and their patch and review process is *easy* particularly when combined with the new Gerrit system that's free for FOSS projects.

Hi there,

from a personal perspective, as a github users (read biased opinion), I've been refrained from contributing and publishing diffs because:
- the process of patch approval was not clear,
- communication around a patch is made difficult by mail (which are already follinwg throughout the days)
- current open issues are not listed and cannot be discussed by the community (to propose patch for instance)

I have the feeling that a move to github would make lots of things clear for global collaboration. Although, the fact that the project is hosted at fedora is a good quality stamp/branding :)

my two cents.

Just out of curiosity, what happened with this in the end?

I just noticed a few more suggestions that Github-style pull requests would be really useful.

There were valid opinions expressed for both staying on FedoraHosted and migrating to GitHub. So, effectively, a stalemate.

The SSG community has grown amazingly -- both in contributors and usage -- and because of this success Red Hat is preparing to ship SSG in future versions of RHEL [1]. This exacerbates the need for a manageable ticketing system with easy patch submission as very shortly every RHEL installation will have a copy of SSG. FedoraHosted simply wasn't designed to include the same tooling and developer ecosystem as afforded on GitHub (and that's NOT a ding against it's designers!).

The community is a coalition of the willing. Our shared purpose drives the community, and I strongly feel the need to build out tools that will allow us to scale. I'm concerned -- likely overly so -- at how to prepare for a wave of interest once we begin shipping in RHEL.

With that said, who am I to *mandate* the migration to GitHub? Admittedly part of me wants to just go ahead and do it, however that could come at making a non-trivial amount of people (esp. committers, who would be effected by the change) feel alienated/ignored. Certainly we can't make everyone happy all the time, though.

Thoughts would be *most* welcome.
