Dawid,
If you are looking for people's opinions, then mine would be, "this is
fine". I already use GitHub for my own business projects, and it's the
defacto standard. Many other free and open source projects also rely
on GitHub for managing their repos. The network effects are
undeniable, and it will likely increase visibility of the project.
If the move is coupled with a blog post somewhere, that could be shared
to social media such as Hacker News and garner more attention as well,
potentially.
GitHub also has a lot of resources and features that may prove useful.
You can take advantage of GitHub Actions (not sure how many come with
the free plan) to automate some processes. Not sure if that's where
you want to go, but it's an option. I use it for automating my tests
before allowing merges with the master branch of some projects, for
example.
I am not saying you *should* move the project to GitHub, I am just
saying I support your decision and your reasons for doing so, if that
makes sense.
Sincerely,
Basil

Hi Team,
As I mentioned in past, we have to push project forward. Since we
lost support from Zend we have to find more contributors (commiters,
testers, etc..).
In long term, I and Thierry can’t be only developers.
I believe that most of PHP developers currently have account in
GitHub:
1. Symfony Framework / Symfony Libraries
2. Zend Framework / Laminess
3. Laravel
4. Prestashop
5. Magento
6. PHPUnit
7. Most composer libs
So I want move our project to GitHub also:
1. We can use travis for path-builds
2. Github branch/pull-request rather than Gerrit path set
3. One-commit - one-feature can be achieved via force push on
feature_branch
I hope this will allow us to reach new people.
Any thoughts/objections. If not I’d like to start migrations
process after two weeks.
