Switching to Github would certainly make it easier for new contributors to join. But it is most definitely not acceptable for political reasons for FFmpeg to switch over to a proprietary and US-based forge. Also most MRs would probably be craptastic kludges, which would only add to the review burden. Switching to an own Gitlab instance would simplify code review (that's why I'm in favour) but it will add more burden on system admins, and make joining the project harder. This may be counter-intuitive. But just look at the sad situation for projects hosted on code.videolan.org: people are back to submitting patches by mail or give up entirely due to how hard it is to create an account. Lastly, I don't see how any of this helps motivate funding from big corps. Let's not miw things up here, please. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
