I think its important for graduation that all code is managed on the Apache SVN. While I can see that the approach you took prior to commitership was useful, it isn't a good model generally within Apache. For example, if other non-committers or even committers did contribute code to GitHub then the record of that will not propogate into the SVN. Non-committers are explicitly encouraged to submit patches, so the rest of the community gets to see the contributions, and in this case that wouldn't have happened.
I'm glad to hear it is being phased out. Thanks Paul On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 3:32 PM, Steve Huston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Paul, > >> Do we still have "active" code in GitHub?
