First, I have given Donald Stufft and Nick Coghlan a deadline of October 31 -- Halloween in North America -- to get demo instances of their approaches for tweaking our approaches (and they were the only ones to propose anything so if you are asking "what about considering XXX?", it's because no one proposed it and stepped up to make sure it happened if their approach was chosen). Nick is proposing using Kalithea and his proposal is found at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0474/ . Donald is proposing GitHub + Phabricator -- although the Phabricator bit is optional for people
I really appreciate all the work you guys are doing to improve our process.
I am going to ask the question anyway Brett, and depending on the answer, I might be willing to write a PEP and work on putting up a demo instance, although with my limited time, I'd sure love to work with someone on it.
Recently, the CEO of GitLab made an offer to the Debian community:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.general/201695
GitLab (community edition at least) is open source, so it's way more palatable to me than GitHub. And if they were willing to extend the same offer to us, then we would at least have their assistance for hosting. I'm happy to reach out to Sytse and ask - can't hurt, right?!
I have no connection to GitLab other than as a happy user.
