[core-workflow] Pagure and Fedora

[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

I just read a very interesting article about a new forge, Pagure:
"Pagure and Fedora"

   https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/687821/ddb9fc2c985a606a/

Pagure looks like a clone of GitHub implemented in Python (!) (Python
2 only yet, oooooh, but a Python 3 port is ongoing) and storing all
data in Git! Excellent. Data: code, documentation, tickets, pull
requests, etc. Just everything.

The main difference with GitHub is that you can more easily extract
data to move to a new forge later. I also understand that it's free to
host your own server, since Pagure is a libre (free) software (GitHub
requires a license, no?).

As written in the article, the GitHub still has a major advantage: its
"network" (its community).

I also shared the article because I read another very interesting
article about Gerrit. Mike Bayer writes that Gerrit reviews are as
much importants as changes themself. IMHO he's right, the information
of reviews are very important and we should take to keep... especially
if tomorrow we move to another forge ;-)

It looks like we are going to loose all Rietveld reviews when moving
to GitHub. What if we move to Pagure tomorrow? :-p

The CPython move to GitHub seems to have started. It looks like Pagure
is still young, and GitHub has many advantages, but well, I wanted to
share this project with you ;-)

Note: GitHub was down a few minutes this morning ;-)
