The current way of working - to use github for storing\n\u003e the tree, and use a custom script for signing+merging - is fine with\n\u003e me.\n\u003e\n\u003e Github has a low barrier to contribution. Almost every open source\n\u003e developer already has a github account. Switching to something\n\u003e self-hosted makes it more difficult for people to contribute.\n\u003e\n\u003e Plus if we have to take the hosting upon ourselves, we have to handle\n\u003e sysadmin work ourselves as well. That's not a good use of the limited\n\u003e manpower available.\n\u003e\n\u003e Also it will be a lot of work to migrate over all the current issues\n\u003e and pulls. I don't look forward to that.
