Over at core-workflow@ we are discussing details of the GitHub and GitLab proposals and one of the worries the GitLab supporters have brought up is that some core developers could flat-out stop contributing if we moved to GitHub. Now I have major doubts that's true as no one has told me that is the case yet after all the time that this workflow change has been discussed, but I would not be doing my due diligence if I didn't check to make sure I truly didn't need to consider this in my final decision.

So, if you would actually stop contributing to Python's development if we switched to GitHub, please let me know (and this is obviously addressed to us core developers and not external contributors since they can always submit old-style patches through the issue tracker). This is not asking about preference or you would only begrudgingly use GitHub since some people will begrudgingly do whatever decision I reach, so please don't reply about begrudging use so I can keep the signal:noise ratio down; only reply with  "I will quit Python over GitHub" emails.

You can email me privately if you want, but let me know if you care if I share this with very select people like Guido. Also realize that anyone who says they will walk away will be held to their word; if we still choose to switch to GitHub I will expect you to no longer contribute to Python and will personally hold you to your word (which also makes private emails a little moot, but I can understand if you would rather fade away than make a public political statement). I'm saying this not to be threaten people into not giving me an answer but because I want to get the point across that this is a very serious question, so I don't want any wavering on the answer.

Please let me know by Wednesday, Dec 16 if you would walk away. I know it's not a ton of time but I said I expect silence so I don't want to be sitting around to find out the results of this question.
