[Qgis-psc] Migration to Github

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Denis,

The voting was controversial. I know that more people voted for the 
Github solution - strictly spoken this would mean that you could go 
ahead with migration to github. But the fact that so many people felt 
uncomfortable with moving to github - esp. in the light that it hasn't 
been shown by a test migration that issue tracking in github is really 
feasibly for that many tickets - I think that we shouldn't move to 
github yet.

Personally, I don't understand the rush anyway. Shouldn't we concentrate 
on the work around releasing QGIS 3 first and then when there are more 
resources available - first do a test migration and see if it is 
feasible to:

a) keep the history

b) show that tagging as the only way for structuring tickets is really 
feasible

Then we can still decide if we want to move to github or not. And 
finally, there are concerns that github is not a "free" platform. 
Neither Open Source not it was proven that tickets could be exported 
from Github properly, if we'd have to.

Please also note that both Richard and Jürgen invested quite a bit of 
time to upgrade Redmine and move to its own separate virtual machine. 
The current Redmine works both fast and stable and most people did not 
complain that it is hard to use. So not really a reason to rush away 
from Redmine.

Greetings,

Andreas
