While I'm really mostly a DPDK outsider, I'd like to express my support for this suggestion. For my part, I'm mostly interested in the general development discussion on dpdk-dev, not details about changes in e.g., the i40 PMD code. Architecture discussions, usage questions etc tend to get drowned in an endless flow of patches. > - GitHub has a per pull request discussions area, which gives a clean > way to review all discussions on a specific change. ... and I think this is one of the great features of github. For an example on how discussions on merge requests can look, take a look at e.g., one of the rust-lang merge requests: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/25058#discussion_r29548050 which shows nice git commit links, discussions about relevant parts of the commits, automatic test results etc. Bug reports also get very nicely integrated into the workflow. I used to be more of a command-line guy, but I'm starting to see the benefits of the github way of doing things, and I think it would be a nice improvement for DPDK to start using it as well. // Simon
