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.

Mostly for curiosity: why fedorahosted and not github?

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.

For my job, I basically have to be functional in bzr, hg, git, svn, and cvs, but thankfully no longer rcs, sccs :). I wouldn't call myself a git guru, but I can manage.

One of the advantages of the new architecture is that development can happen independently. I do subscribe to the principle that those doing most of the work should get to decide, so if git works better for you, I think it should be fine. I don't think it will be *too* difficult to stitch everything together for a future sumo-release.

No objections from me, as long as the documentation is updated. Please submit a patch or merge-proposal to update the ArchiveUIin5.rst document though.
