I have a couple thoughts. 1. What percentage of contributions are done via pull requests versus via patch files these days? I'm always happy to commit a patch, but I just don't see them. I'm still happy to commit a patch sent to the mailing list. I feel that requiring JIRA is just unnecessarily invoking another tool, another signup process, unnecessary hurdle. If someone wants to send a patch to the mailing list, e.g. from the user list as part of a discussion, that's fine. 2. Realistically, every committer actively merging/committing is using github today already. This proposal doesn't make their life any more difficult. They already have their github account setup. It makes life easier for the *contributor*, which is what I want. 3. Around concerns of github "censorship" and certain countries, this doesn't affect public repositories, just private ones. It has to do with sanctions and money and so on. I see you committed Persian Stemmer from an Iranian contributor just this morning. This is not a problem. 4. Still along these lines, I tested this stuff from behind chinese great firewall this morning, to have the full experience myself. lucene.apache.org site is extremely fast, fastly CDN! github.com was a bit slower to load, but not terrible. Loading up JIRA (issues.apache.org) was very slow, required both getting and drinking another coffee. It is some machine out there in hetzner germany, which may be the issue. At the same time, I think it is unreasonable to ask infra to "cluster" the JIRA for better access around the world, because that's absurdly scary from a technical perspective. So I'm happy if we can streamline the contribution process and make it easier for folks outside of US and europe. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
