> - What other options would the community consider and any relevant pros/cons? I dont know why the options are exclusive. One can add a Forgejo on ffmpeg.org but leave the Mailing List/Patch Workflow in place for cases where the maintainer or patch author prefers a ML workflow. I mean just add an option and see what happens Who uses it ? do people submit patches to it ? do people enjoy working with it ? do people hate working with it ? IIUC one can add 1 line to .git/config and then a git fetch will fetch all pull requests and one can simply merge any without any need of any browser. I also dont think we even need a vote to just setup a Forgejo on ffmpeg.org when it replaces nothing but just adds an option thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong. -- Voltaire
