20 First of all, thank you Andreas for brining this up in an appropriate
21 thread of its own.

30 The most important part here is "depend upon". As long as the primary
31 repository and developer workflow internally happens on infra hosted
32 systems, having a copy of the repository on github to allow external
33 contributions is no issue the way I interpret it, and it can only be a
34 positive thing if we get such contributions. However, this should not
35 be used as a primary component of the workflow, and people should
36 certainly keep the social contract in mind when structuring projects.
37
38 It would of course be even better if we had our own infrastructure, or
39 procedures, in place to enable this within our own infrastructure. But
40 from what I can see in the various discussion, the review tools that
41 have been mentioned really are not up to par in terms of release
42 management and possibility to keep up to date and secure in any sane
43 way. How this can be the situation in the first place is a longer (and
44 perhaps scarier) discussion.
