This sounds like something we should consider. The github workflow is very compelling and being able to replicate that would be super awesome :) I think there are enough people talking about his that we could add this to discuss as a summit agenda item. I’m sensitive to not wanting to burden the xsf sysadmins (who very kindly volunteer their time to keeping everything running) with maintaining another platform, but I think this would be worthwhile (and actually could replace the self-hosted mercurial repo that we already have). Self hosting would actually have one advantage over github which is customisation - for example allowing XEP authors to push changes to their own XEP, but not having general push rights which I don’t believe we could do with github, but would be fairly trivial with gitlab (gitosis). — Ash
