Hi all,

Back at the Hamburg meeting in 2019 and a succeeding vote we decided to migrate 
over to a self-hosted GitLab instance. Some years passed and nothing really 
happened so I’d like to give this another go.

None of the OpenWrt project members is willing to setup and maintain a GitLab 
instance and there were multiple vetos again gitlab.com.

Our current bug tracker at bugs.openwrt.org is used by a minority of users (and 
devs), all community repositories (LuCI, packages, …) use GitHub for issue 
tracking. Instead of maintaining flyspray and the server, I’d like to export 
all flyspray issues, migrate them to GitHub and open GitHub issues for 
openwrt/openwrt to the public. A static or read-only version of flyspray could 
be hosted for the near future.

Secondly I’d like to give the CI of the main repository another go. Our CI to 
build Docker images is currently on gitlab.com, I’d migrate that over to 
GitHub. Also I’d suggest to add similar CI checks as added to the packages (and 
routing and video and LuCI) repository. We could compile targets and tooling, 
check checksums etc, even build snapshots to lower the resource usage of our 
Buildbot infrastructure.

During a recent _poll_ in #openwrt-adm multiple members liked the idea, however 
before doing or voting on anything, I’d like to ask for more comments.

Thanks for all feedback,
Paul
