I mean that the mission of ASF is to be a vendor-neutral place where people (employed by different companies) can collaborate to develop free software for the public good. The mission of Microsoft (the current owner of GitHub) is that of a commercial entity, and is different from ours. What Microsoft does is governed by laws of the State of Washington, US, maybe by laws of Ireland (where is their unit that provides marketing and sales for the EMEA region), and generally by their business interests. Legally, it is expressed in their written agreements, or in public agreements such as Terms of Service, EULA etc. Sometimes corporations do what they feel is in their business interests, regardless of whether there are actual laws. ASF is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, US, and has a different mission, public image, etc. > > GitHub is not the only git hosting service out there. > > To my best knowledge, the ASF supports only two git hosting services: > a) GitBox (see https://git.apache.org/) > b) GitHub (it any case it is mirrored to GitBox) As with ASF mailing lists, that have a number of independent archives, there can be (now or in the future) any number of git mirrors. GitBox at ASF is the main repository. GitHub is a mirror.

GitLab is certainly there and is well-known, and anyone can create their own.

GitHub (or maybe GitBox) sends e-mails that are titled like "[GitHub] [tomcat-jakartaee-migration] aooohan commented on issue #29: ..." The result is that they are scattered all over my GMail Inbox, are split by a user name (aooohan in this case) and action (commented, created, closed). It is hard to see the whole discussion without going to the GitHub site.
