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

I think people may have interpreted my statements to mean I will not accept pull requests on GitHub and want to impose more work on casual developers or require people to do a ton of work.

I'm not against accepting pull requests from Github at all.

My point is if the reason to move to Github is so you can click the trigger on the pull request to accept -- and you're drowsy and half asleep, I don't want that.
I want YOU as a committer to work a bit harder.  Putting the extra road block of take a diff etc and commit to your repo and push I feel will give you time to digest.  With git /git more of the meta data will be kept.

You guys sometimes are lazy and moving to Github will make you lazier :)

In fact I'd be happy to setup some sort of hook on github that allows you to click a button to push or at least pull from gitea.

Moving from trac/gitea  to Github is way easier than moving from Github back.
Plus last I recall your trac migration to Github included some sacrifices.
