> A few months ago, I enabled write access to our repositories on

> Currently, two thirds of our commits are made on git.lxde, and one

> - We currently maintain contributors in two different places. This is
> fairly annoying. The contributor list in gitolite is actually out of
> date - all our recent contributors are only on Github.
> - While HelixBot is awesome, it's nicer to know which developers
> actually close issues and merge PRs.
> - Gitolite forces a sysadmin to handle the developer public keys.
> Practically, that means nobody can change ssh key on git.lxde without
> contacting me first. Github avoids that.
> - The same logic applies to new repositories,

> I'm bringing this up because HelixBot has some trouble with branches
> and tags. He sometimes restores things that were deleted because of a
> push in the other direction. This caused painful problems during our
> 0.9 release and I'm wondering if it's worth fixing since we don't have
> a solid reason to keep him around anymore.

> I'd like some comments, please.

> For the time being, unless you really need to commit on git.lxde,
> please do change your remotes to g...@github.com:lxde/$repo.git.
