Holy shit no, this is by no means the start of a SCM flamewar, I like
and still prefer SVN very much, we use it at our company extensively.
My problem is really only about the release and incubation part and in
the end, if I'm going to keep my commit permissions to the "current"
codebase and history or not. I simply won't have the time to go
through the release process myself, I thought I have it when the
incubation process started, but it didn't work the last 2 years, so I
guess it won't work the next 2... And with that in mind, I'm just
checking the possibilities to keep any somewhat writable permissions
to the codebase for me.

GitHub is only one possible anchor, which is simply better suited for
my needs than the Attic, because I could fork with keeping the
history. And if the project doesn't succeed the incubation process
now, it surely won't ever leave the Attic again.

And that's fine, but that doesn't necessary mean that you need to "lock
away" the history. But I may completely wrong and it wouldn't be
allowed to even fork a dead Apache log4cxx on GitHub to keep working
on it with the history, even privately?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning
