Thanks to Song and Paul, we created organization for md-raid on Github. This is a perfect place to maintain mdadm. I would like announce moving mdadm development to Github. It is already forked, feel free to explore: https://github.com/md-raid-utilities/mdadm Github is powerful and it has well integrated CI. On the repo, you can already find a pull request which will add compilation and code style tests (Thanks to Kinga!). This is MORE than we have now so I believe that with the change mdadm stability and code quality will be increased. The participating method will be simplified, it is really easy to create pull request. Also, anyone can fork repo with base tests included and properly configured. Note that Song and Paul are working on a per patch CI system using GitHub Actions and a dedicated rack of servers to enable fast container, VM and bare metal testing for both mdraid and mdadm. Having mdadm on GitHub will help with that integration. As a result of moving to GitHub, we will no longer be using mailing list to propose patches, we will be using GitHub Pull Requests (PRs). As the community adjusts to using PRs I will be setting up auto-notification for those who attempt to use email for patches to let them know that we now use PRs. I will also setup GitHub to send email to the mailing list on each new PR so that everyone is still aware of pending patches via the mailing list. Please let me know if you have questions of other suggestions. As a kernel.org mdadm maintainer, I will keep kernel.org repo and Github in-sync for both master/main branches. Although they will be kept in sync, developers should consider GitHub/main effective immediately after merging this patchset. I will wait at least one week with merge to gather feedback and resolve objections. Feel free to ask.
