[Docutils-develop] [docutils:feature-requests] Re: #58 Migration Docutils from SourceForge to Github

[Jeffrey C. J. <tim...@us...>]

I would just like to say I use Git a lot and my only reservations are 1)
GitHub is often blocked by companies / agencies because of the sites ties
to China. I would suggest long term to use GitLab.

Secondly, Forking isn’t so much a problem if branching isn’t allowed but
branching seems more natural. The main thing I worry about is someone
activating a pull request which is against the core principles of Docutils
and, when the suggested changes are rejected, goes and creates their own
Docutils on GitLab or GitHub and submits it to pypi and users don’t know
which one is legit. That’s my only other concern. Beyond that, I have no
issue with Git but ask you show some patience with David as he’s only just
come back to the project in force recently.

Sourceforge is not really user friendly to report issues, propose pull-request and contribute to the project. I would like to know if it is possible to migrate Docutils to GitHub.
