Anything else? Github's bug tracker is a bit lightweight (perhaps enough for notion?), but I'm really not a big fan of SF's bugtracker. Mailing lists are not included in Github's service, but that could remain on sf if no other alternative is available. > FWIW, I dislike github.

Of course there are outages, but from my experiences, they are as rare (or common) as other similar services. And fwiw, I don't dislike the file browser. :-) The biggest advantage of using Github specifically would be the ease of which a new or sporadic contributor could send patches via pull requests. The workflow is well known, with the large popularity of Github. This has downsides as well of course, having an "enforced" workflow that may not always fit a specific project's needs. All in all, I'd be happy with a migration to Github, as a user and sporadic contributor. But in the end, the people actively working with maintaining notion should decide what fits them best. > As far as notion's use of submodules is concerned... does anyone outside of > notion care about libtu and friends?
