+1 I'm not convinced about why having those repos hosted at a place or another would help to share ideas. It will generates a long list of obsolete directories. For instance, in my opinon, the repo list on kernel.org brings more noise than useful info: https://git.kernel.org/ As Stephen said, administrating these new repos/ml/patchwork/... would imply a maintenance work (Thomas), knowing there are plenty other ways to have a public git repo. Instead, what about adding a link on dpdk.org website that would point to a place for dpdk.org related projects on github/gitlab/... This could be either to a public forge, or to a dedicated server administrated by people that needs this feature, avoiding another work load for Thomas ;) Olivier
