Personally, I also prefer Git because the tools supporting bzr are not as well integrated into Mac OSX work environments.

Postorius is based on Django and it, as well as most of the 3rd-party extensions, utilizes git for a VCS.

In maintaining the source, AFAICT, bzr and git are functionally interchangeable and the hosting location for either VCS is an independent issue. Both have reasonable alternatives available.

I would like to see all of the MM related development migrate.

Hello Mailmaners,

The HyperKitty project was historically using Bazaar as it VCS, and was hosted on fedorahosted.org. An essential component was split off (KittyStore), which was initially source-controlled with Git and hosted on Github. I'm trying to bring back some coherence into this, and considering switching all the components to Git on fedorahosted.org. The reason for this choice is that me and the other two most frequent contributors are much more skilled with git than with bzr.

We're concerned however by the uncomfortableness it may cause you, the Mailman community, if/when you want to contribute to HyperKitty. Barry, Terry, Florian, would that be a problem ? Others ? Of course I'm ready to merge patches sent by email or bugtracker, but that's a little more friction.

It's not a "speak now or forever hold your peace" moment, but this unnecessary complexity is tiring day-to-day, so I'd rather sort that out quickly-ish.

Thanks !

Aurélien
