I am not worrying when one uses it for draft. However anything after that
should happen in the wiki and on our git as it is the correct process.

I really like github, or gitlab, however int he current context, almost all
contributors may lose access to github (or other US based) companies based
on the US government policies or directives. Without starting a political
discussion whether or not this is valid, it is definitely a big risk. A
risk I am not really willing to take for php itself, if I may say.

best,
