I'm not able to parse this really... but sure, if you don't want to go to github, as I noted N emails back, you are welcome to use the fedorahosted trac or patches in emails to lists. > > among other reasons, judged it OK.

Well, they could use the fedorahosted trac, or the infrastructure mailing list or irc or whatever. This is likely my last reply in this thread, as I noted N mails ago, bodhi is likely to move to pagure.io now that we have that and it gets us most everything github has. So, trying to convince us to move this project from github when we are already doing it seems... pointless. kevin
