Hey, what do you think about moving pylint and astroid from Bitbucket/hg to GitHub/git? I've briefly talked with Claudiu about this, and he seems open to the idea and suggested I write this mail :) If people agree, I'll be able to move issues (including the correct issue numbers) and the repository (including tags/branches). I recently helped doing the same for pytest: https://bitbucket.org/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/699/ Unfortunately, I didn't find a good way to migrate pull requests, so those would've been to be recreated by their authors. Some rationales, from my point of view: - GitHub has the bigger exposure, and more people are familiar with it than with Bitbucket - this potentially means more contributors. - Contributing is IMHO cumbersome with Bitbucket. Apparently, one's supposed to use bookmarks instead of branches (because branches can't be deleted, IIRC), but Bitbucket doesn't support doing pull requests with them - the "solution" Bitbucket uses when editing things with the online editor is to create a new fork for every change, by the way... I also tried to find documentation for basic stuff like "how do I contribute to a project with branches and PRs", and found it very difficult. Sure, I'm used to git, but getting started with git was a lot easier than with hg/bitbucket. - Travis CI[1] is a lot better than drone.io, the current CI system in use. For example, one is able to test PRs, which is something essential in a CI IMHO (and also makes contributing easier). I don't think I need to elaborate on that :) - There's also a lot of other potentially useful tooling which is available for GitHub, but not BitBucket - see point 1 (bigger exposure).
