Thanks Mark. I'm finding it a *lot* easier to manage patch reviews using github rather than mailing list threads: specifically: the github web UI has: (a) convenient metadata tags that make it clear "who has the ball" for each patch, integrated with: (b) really nice UX for viewing and commenting on patches which the mailing-list plus patchwork approach is far inferior to IMHO. I hope the forge instance has similar capabilities for both (a) and (b). One downside of the https://github.com/antoyo/libgccjit/pull workflow for (a) is that I can't edit the labels when I review things (though maybe Antoni can give me access to that?) ...but yeah, it's not ideal to be using a closed source site for this. That said, Antoni and I have things split between two places already: the mailing lists and his github. I'd be up for doing it in the forge instance instead, but arguably we'd then be splitting things into *three* places... gahhh!!!! AIUI Antoni is already using github for interacting with the rustc project, so it might be considerably easier for him to stick to github; I'm feeling guilty about my crappiness at patch review so I feel I don't have much of a moral high ground here to push for a non- proprietary tool.
