Template for tracker :

(needs review)
If something is of a high priority move ahead and merge the changes. we need not wait for the usual procedure to be followed.

Checked a smoke run on github. works fine for now.
Need volunteers for migrating build jobs repo.(Deepshikha will take care)
Need a proper config for github. (who will be the maintainers and stuff need to be decided)
[Amar] use the maintainers list to figure out who can be made maintainers for github.

[Ravi can give more insight into this]
[Ravi] spurious split brain issue. Gave him a patch and looks like it fixed it but it resulted in a crash for which we are expecting a separate thread/bug.
