I have mixed feelings for this very reason. The concept of accepting |
| 9 |
contributions on github is an EXCELLENT one. The problem is that it |
| 10 |
is proprietary, which creates division, and could potentially create |
| 11 |
problems down the road (no way to know - the sorts of things that can |
| 12 |
happen anytime you depend on proprietary software). |

So, first, THANK YOU! |

Second, I think this really points to there being value for something |
| 22 |
like Gerrit available on Gentoo, which might be the best of both |
| 23 |
worlds. I've never used it myself but I'm tempted to install it just |
| 24 |
to start messing with it personally. I'd be interested in whether |
| 25 |
anybody is familiar with it and doesn't feel that it is an appropriate |
| 26 |
tool for us to use. If the consensus is overwhelmingly positive then |
| 27 |
it would be great to have it deployed on Gentoo infra. And yes, I |
| 28 |
realize that this is easy to type, but hard work to implement. I see |
| 29 |
dual-workflows like Github as an interim solution. Personally, I'm |
| 30 |
not entirely opposed to even a Github-only solution as an interim if |
| 31 |
we were actively working on something FOSS-based, however I realize |
| 32 |
that not all might agree on that. |
