Hi all, I really like GH issues and discussions ... they lower the bar for contribution quite a bit and feel a lot more inviting for newer contributors. At least have we seen a significant increase in contributions since we switched to GH Issues and are currently starting to use GH Discussions in PLC4X.
And I should mention that I just recently had an Apache Infra PR of mine merged, which make it possible to format the subjects of the auto-generated GH emails to make them usable in normal email clients (Pior to that merge, the GH Discusssion emails were not configurable) I documented the settings we use quite successfully in PLC4X and StreamPipes here: https://github.com/apache/comdev-site/blob/main/source/contributors/mailing-lists.md Hope that helps, Chrs ________________________________ From: Benjamin Marwell <bmarw...@apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2023 5:04:51 PM To: Maven Developers List <dev@maven.apache.org> Subject: Re: GH issues and GH discussions I am pretty sure if that happens (terms&conditions changes, GH not an option), we have plenty of time to migrate. The same has happened multiple times in the past: SourceForge, BerliOS, Google Code... Now it is ASF JIRA and maybe some day we will be migrating away from GitHub Issues to something else? But even then, there will be an archive and there will be a migration tool. None of the above migrations lost any data AFAIK. Am Sa., 27.
