Okay great, thanks you. I've sent an email out to general@ to discuss. It looks like things are all set up on asf <https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-metron-bro-plugin-kafka.git> for that new repo - would somebody be willing to setup a read-only git mirror to github <https://www.apache.org/dev/git.html#git-mirrors>? My understanding is that I'm unable to make this request myself, as I am not a PMC member. The documentation that I've been able to find says:
Please file an INFRA <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA> issue (component: Git) to request a new codebase to be mirrored or to change the settings of an existing mirror. When requesting a new mirror, please include the following information: - Name of the codebase, for example "Apache Tika" - Name of the requested Git mirror, for example "tika.git" - Subversion path of the codebase, for example "/lucene/tika" - Subversion layout, in case it is different from the standard "trunk, branches, tags" structure. If this is something that I should be able to do I would be more than happy to, just let me know. Thanks! Jon On Mon, Apr 10, 2017 at 4:19 PM P.
