[Pkg-ime-devel] GITLAB migration plan

[Osamu Aoki]

Hi folks,

I just got a mail from GitLab <gitlab at salsa.debian.org> on Dec. 21st.

This let me read the WIKI page on salsa:
 https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/Doc

Basically, archive doesn't seem to be moved automatically from alioth.
So we need to decide how to keep things consistent.

We have a few options for pkg-ime-devel at l.a.d.o packages currently hosted in 
 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-ime/*.git

Option 1:
 Apply for a group "pkg-ime" just like alioth and start moving package
 when requested to move away from alioth or when we agree.
 We apply lists.debian.org for pkg-ime at l.d.o to be created and
 migrate our ML to it.

Option 2:
 Move projects to the Debian/ Namespace which is the Salsa equivalent of
 'collab-maint' on Alioth when requested to move away from alioth or when
 we agree.
 We migrate to an existing ML such as debian-i18n at l.d.o  (bug reports
 with i18n tag seem to happen often for ime package.  They seem to be
 forwarded to debian-i18n at l.d.o anyway.)

Option 3:
 Same as option 3 for repository.  But for ML, we apply lists.debian.org
 for pkg-ime at l.d.o  is another option.

Considering very few volunteers with high turn over, I think we should
move to more open repository at least.  So I think option 2 or option 3
are better.  This way, we get ourselves freed from accepting member.
Its open. 

As for ML, having point of shared reachable account is important.  I am
OK with either ones.  As long as we have one ML address, we can track
situation easily as now.

Please let us know what you think.
