[Rd] Community Feedback: Git Repository for R-Devel

[Juan Telleria]

Thank you Mark, this is what I was looking for.

On Sunday I will read again in detail previous discussion's facts, and
attach the pros and cons here, so that they remain for the future, and the
topic can be closed.

>> UNBIASED FACTS:
>> • Bugzilla & R-devel Mailing Lists: Remain unchanged: Understood as
>> Ticketing platforms for bug pull requests on the R-devel Git Repository.
>>
>> •  Git Repository Options:
>> A) Github (Cloud with Automated backups from GitHub to CRAN Server):
>> https://github.com
>> B) Gitlab (Selfhosted on CRAN): https://about.gitlab.com
>> C) Phabricator (Selfhosted on CRAN): https://www.phacility.com
>> D) Microsoft Codeplex: https://www.codeplex.com
>> E) Others: Unknown

>> GOOGLE TRENDS:

>> EXAMPLE
>> Git Repository on Core Python: https://github.com/python

>> PERSONAL OPINION / MOTIVATION:

>> * R Community.
>> * And R-Core.
>> For:
>> * R Bug Fixes.
>> * And Core Feature Wishlist.
>> As anyone would be able to:
>> * Check the unassigned bugs in Bugzilla (apart from R-Core).
>> * And propose bugs fixes by themselves as Pull requests (by mentioning the
>> Bug ID of Bugzilla or the Mailing Lists).
>>
>> This would allow that _individuals_ either from Universities or Companies
>> interested in the Development of R:
>> * apart of donating economical resources to the R Foundation.
>> * could help to maintain core R Code by themselves.
>> Which aligns with the true spirit of R, which shall be done from
>> contributing individuals, for individuals themselves.

>> It would also allow to put the focus on the precise lines of code changed
>> with each Commit, and revert changes in an easy way, without verbose
>> E-mails: Tidy, Clean, Maintainable, and Fast.
>>
>> At last, I noticed R-devel Archives do not have an E-mail Id (Unique
>> Unsigned Integer), so it would be a good idea to add one for pull requests
>> if Git was adopted.
