Hi Hermant, I had to go back and double check the thread. Elias said we should make it clear that it was a mirror, not that the use of Gerrit should be deprecated. I don't have the keys to the vpp github account, so I can't update the message. It's a good idea, though. +1
I would not support moving from Gerrit, it provides too much value. You can always point your upstream repo on your github fork to " https://gerrit.fd.io/r/vpp"; if that helps any.
