Hi,

I'm not sure that here is a right place to discuss this. If
this is not a right place, please tell me where is a right
place.

Question:

Can we use the GitHub's "transferring a repository"[1] after
IP clearance is passed? Apache Arrow project used pull
requests to import donated codes that pass IP clearance but
has never used the GitHub's "transferring a repository". If
there is a case that uses the GitHub's "transferring a
repository", please share it. Any advice is appreciated as
well.

Background:

Apache Arrow project has accepted the donation of the Julia
implementation before[2]. But there is a problem in
development process, https://github.com/JuliaData/Arrow.jl
is upstream and
https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/julia/Arrow is
downstream[3].

So, Apache Arrow project wants to restart the Julia
implementation with the Apache way development process from
IP clearance. Apache Arrow project wants to use a separated
repository https://github.com/apache/arrow-julia instead of
Apache Arrow's monorepo https://github.com/apache/arrow with
the new development process. Apache Arrow PMC accepted
this[4][5].

I assumed that Apache Arrow project uses a pull request for
IP clearance and importing passed codes at import
https://github.com/JuliaData/Arrow.jl . So I've created an
empty Git repository https://github.com/apache/arrow-julia
. But an idea is raised: How about using the GitHub's
"transferring a repository" feature to move existing issues
and pull requests as-is, set redirect to
https://github.com/apache/arrow-julia from
https://github.com/JuliaData/Arrow.jl and so on?

But I don't know that Apache Arrow project can use the
GitHub's "transferring a repository" feature. So I'm asking
this here.
