I like the general idea you have here. I think it will make |
| 9 |
collaboration much easier. I would add a word of caution regarding |
| 10 |
extra-gentoo infra. Not everyone will want to use these services. |
| 11 |
Further, the concept of a "pull request" is a shiny gui wrapper around |
| 12 |
git-format-patch and the git-apply/git-am workflow, or so it seems to |
| 13 |
me. |

I suggest we use g.o.g.o for the proper master and mirror (auto via a |
| 16 |
hook) out to various services like github, etc. Then we can easily |
| 17 |
merge in changes from any service. |

This does bring up an related question regarding the idea of official |
| 20 |
(or semi-official) gentoo repos using external service providers. I |
| 21 |
note that github has an "organization" called "gentoo" already [1]. |
| 22 |
Anyone know about who set this up? Are there other examples of this? |
| 23 |
We should use our trademarked name where possible. (I think I will ask |
| 24 |
around about the github org bit.) |
| 25 |

| 26 |
I would love to see gentoo encourage contrib, in the way you outline |
| 27 |
Kacper, all across the project. |
