Thanks for the tips, Max!! I think we are, hopefully, doing okay on some of these. My thoughts inline.
> Since you need elevated rights on both orgs to move the repo (say airbnb and apache) and that both parties aren't ok with that, it's typical to use a middleman org like `apacheinfra`. Luckily, our org is limited to just Druid stuff (https://github.com/druid-io) so we should be OK to add Apache Infra people with elevated rights. > * make merge hook checks optional, so that if coverage, travis, or code quality checks do not prevent merging, since it's likely those check won't trigger and as a non-admin you won't be able to force-merge We have a couple (Travis and TeamCity) and they're already optional. > * consider unprotecting protected branches so that you can push to master if controlling master is important in your workflow. This way you can effectively merge PRs without clicking the button on GH. Master _is_ important. Although I think if we can't do PRs, then pushing directly to master is probably not going to be too helpful anyway (the PRs are essential to our code review workflow). So I think we have to hope for the best here? > * make sure core committers have their Gitbox access setup, I think it can be a bit tricky and may involve your mentor / infra pulling some levers on whimsy I went through this process (via https://gitbox.apache.org/setup/) to get the ability to push to https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid-website, which is powering https://druid.apache.org/. It took a little while and was kind of confusing but it does work now. Other Druid committers: sounds like getting set up on GitBox early is a good thing, so please check it out!
