Hi all,

   I finally finished the first phase of the integration with GitHub. All
repositories are now on GitHub and all repositories are mirrored to
alsa-project.org. The github repositories are master (developers should
push changes only to those repositories). If you refer the repository as
the code source (for packaging or so), please, keep to use the
repositories on alsa-project.org (in case when we migrate to other
service in future like GitLab or so). The mirroring is realtime, so the
changes should be visible on git.alsa-project.org in few seconds after
the push.

   I invited few people to the GitHub team and actually Takashi has full
access to all repos, Vinod Koul should have the write access to
tinycompress and Takashi Sakamoto should have the write access to
alsa-gi. If I omitted someone (or someone is not on github), please, let
me know (and register before).

   Because github adds possibility for the pull requests and issue
tracking, I added notifications for them to this (alsa-devel) mailing
list. The short notification should be sent when an pull request or an
issue is opened or changed. I think that it would be best to handle this
per request, so the developer can ask to resend the patch to the mailing
list for the wider review or just push the change with the signing.

   I activated Travis CI for alsa-lib and alsa-utils and I will add other
repos soon, too. URL: https://travis-ci.org/alsa-project

   If you have some ideas which other github applications can be used to
improve the code maintenance, let me know. I will probably play with the
coverity checker (http://scan.coverity.com), too.

Nice. If you figure out how to do the CI integration with Coverity I am all ears. I've been trying to enable it for SOF (which is also on github) but couldn't find anyone that has done this successfully.

While I am at it, I've only used the 'rebase-and-merge' solution to merge PRs, which gives you a linear history similar to what we've always had. when using the default merge you end up with a spaghetti plate of branches that quickly makes no sense for most people and make tools like gitk nearly useless. Maybe the merge is fine when dealing with different subsystems but when dealing with relatively small components it's more confusing that helpful.
