  • Although we’ll be hosting the repository on GitHub, our contribution workflow will remain unchanged and we will not be accepting Pull Requests at this time

Why aren’t they using a self-hosted instance of Gitea? This makes no sense move to Github of all places.

otter,

Could be familiarity? I saw an article go by recently about how projects that aren’t on GitHub suffer from lack of contributions. Although that matters more for smaller projects, Mozilla is a beast and could probably pull people off GitHub if it wanted to.

Also if anyone should be trying to build up an alternative to GitHub, it should be Mozilla

dinckelman,

If you are at a skill level, where you can meaningfully contribute to a project like this, registering for an alternative git provider should not be an obstacle

lolcatnip,

Obstacle? No. Annoyance? Yes.
