I realise that, and am happy to go along with this group decision
*when it's all proven possible and is ready to go*. But the ownership
of GitHub should have no bearing whatsoever on this discussion. We
move when (and if) we can without any regressions, and not on an
accelerated timeline because of this news.

(My understanding is that the proposal is for prototyping this change
-- not implementing the actual change itself. Oslandia staff can
clarify here.)

But I agree... porting the CI would be a HUGE effort. It's thanks
mostly to your and Matthias' tireless efforts that we have the
mostly-great CI setup we have today. I can't even begin to estimate
the number of volunteer weeks of development you both have sunk into
this, but my continued, wholehearted thanks are extended to you both
because of it!
