All, I wanted to bring up for discussion moving the project from our current ReviewBoard based workflow to a GitHub pull request based workflow through the use of the ASF's GitBox service[1].
The GitBox service would allow us to read/write to our GitHub repository instead of only mirroring our Apache hosted repository. This means we'd be able to take pull requests through the GitHub platform instead of taking patches though ReviewBoard. It's worth mentioning that the Aurora community is responsible for two repositories: aurora and aurora-packaging. I believe moving to this model would greatly simplify our patch submission process and would lower the barrier of entry to new contributors for both of these repositories. Looking forward to hearing the community's thoughts on this idea. - Renan [1] https://reference.apache.org/committer/git
