I.e., sending out github pull requests to the mailing list for review: https://github.com/google/pull-request-mailer Anyway, for me personally (as a DPDK outsider), what I feel would be the main improvement with using github would be that they have a very well-integrated bug reporting system that keeps track of e.g., the commit that fixes the bug etc. I recently submitted a build issue to the mailing list, which Olivier Matz promptly fixed with a patch (but which haven't been merged as far as I can tell). In the gihub workflow, I'd submitted a bug report ("Issue #13" for example), Olivier would have fixed this through a merge-request ("Issue #13: scripts: fix relpath.sh output when build dir is a symlink") and I'd acked that fix in the bug report. When the merge request was merged to the git repo, the bug report would be closed. I'm also interested in the architecture discussions etc (or the github debate!) on the list, but I really don't read patches sent to the list. So if I had a vote (which I shouldn't have :-)), I'd vote for a gradual move to github and a mailing list split. // Simon
