Github, if used, should not, be used for anything but as a means for git mirroring and pull requests, to facilitate code contribution. Every other aspect of Github: wikis, issue tracker, etc, should not replace Gentoo infrastructure. Github functionality should supplement, but not replace Gentoo infrastructure so that we can remain autonomous and independent. --001a1134adec3011ab050f23d266 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

This point is one a critical one to make, in my opinion. Git= hub, if used, should not, be used for anything but as a means for git mirro= ring and pull requests, to facilitate code contribution. Every other aspect= of Github: wikis, issue tracker, etc, should not replace Gentoo infrastruc= ture.
Github functionality should supplement, but not replace Gentoo infrastructu= re so that we can remain autonomous and independent.
