    Imho the main argument for github is that it lowers the hurdle for new ane ad-hoc contributions like issues. I’m problably too lazy to registsr a new account for your instance just to open a bug report.

    I’d love a federated git/issue/wiki thing

      Are they moving issues or just code storage to GitHub?

        Code storage. They’re keeping bugzilla.

      They’re going to continue using Bugzilla for bug reports.

      In my opinion that sounds like a plus. People that are too lazy to register an account to put in a code merge request or report a bug aren’t going to be writing quality code or quality bug reports.

        Speak for yourself, I’ve been prepared to submit detailed bug reports before the process in place to do so turned me off.

          I did speak for myself. I said “In my opinion”.

      GitHub will just serve as code mirror. Patches and bugs will still go through Mozilla’s usually channels.
