Dear Henning,

I do not understand why this is not just gitlab (proper) or github. I hope this discussion was held with the communities of the affected projects involved. While being disruptive i would suggest for Xenomai to move away from denx. For the git side of the operations. To be more open and welcoming to users/contributers etc.
Are you positively sure that moving to any otherhosting environment will have any positive effect on how the Xenomai community works?
We use the very same setup for U-Boot as well, which has a _much_ bigger and _much_ more active community. We have regular releases every 3 months, and most releases include commits from >200 developers from >30 employers. And the CI setup for U-Boot is in no respect (number of supported architectures / processors / boards / tool chains) less challenging than what you do in Xenomai, on contrary. Not to mention the development rate - U-Boot sees > 20 commits per day in mainline.
Sorry, but I don't buy your "more open and welcoming to users/contri- buters" comment. THe existing environment has proven to work fine for a FOSS community project.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
