[postgis-devel] PSC Vote: Move from svn to Git (and by git I mean Gitea)

[rmrodriguez at carto.com]

After reading the thread there is one thing clear for me: apparently
nobody is using SVN to develop so I think we can agree that it needs
to go away.

> Anyone trying to review development activity or find code to review has to check three places (actually four, since they should check the trac issue report too)

Technically, anyone that opens a PR in those places should also open a
ticket in trac, but nobody does because it means working twice for no
reason.

> I hadn’t even realized I was ignoring a whole third point of development

I only check trac and Github. I'm not saying it's right, but I never
log in other platforms so those essentially don't exist for me.

I think that is the wrong way to go. For any other project I've even
contributed to, if the project accepts PRs, opening one has been the
only thing I've ever needed to do. If we want more people
contributing, which I hope we do, we shouldn't have unnecessary extra
steps.
