Its fine as long as infra is the centre of our operations. Because github is so much better than cvs provided by infra (sorry infra its true) I worry that we'll depend on it too much. To be honest, I love the entire github workflow and would feel much better if we could just own it ourselves.

In case folks on this list haven't seen it before, Gerrit[1] offers a workflow that might be attractive to Gentoo, over and above GitHub's.

Some example's of Gerrit in use include the Qt project [2] and Coreboot project [3]

Of special interest is that Gerrit provides an API by which verification scripts can be run against each patch under consideration, such a repoman. It further lets authorized users to push a patch from the web, without needing to open the git commandline, similar to how GitHub pull requests work.

Just food for thought!
