Hey folks,

Daniel Gruno sent an email to the dev list about the deprecation of our
git-wip repositories [1] (these are the canonical repos that committers
push changes to and are currently mirrored to GitHub) and transitioning to
GitBox [2].

As highlighted in that email, this will not be an optional change, only in
when and how it happens.  There was a previous discussion over this topic
[3] where it was generally well received but I think some of the logistics
were never mapped out and thus the actual request to do so was never
executed.

I am proposing we volunteer for the early relocation.  The process looks to
be fairly straightforward and should ultimately only result in requiring
our contributors to add/replace their original git-wip based remotes.

If folks are in favor, I am happy to file the requisite INFRA ticket and
provide the associated communication/docs to the community to make this
happen.  Again, this is only about making the choice to perform this
migration now, in a coordinated manner, in lieu of the mass migration that
would happen later.

>From a project management standpoint, I think it is a nice bit of
functionality that lets us better curate our open PRs and, given my prior
interest in the subject, would like to see it happen.
