This point is one a critical one to make, in my opinion. Github, if used, |
| 19 |
should not, be used for anything but as a means for git mirroring and pull |
| 20 |
requests, to facilitate code contribution. Every other aspect of Github: |
| 21 |
wikis, issue tracker, etc, should not replace Gentoo infrastructure. |
| 22 |
Github functionality should supplement, but not replace Gentoo |
| 23 |
infrastructure so that we can remain autonomous and independent. |
