Hi,

I talked to Christian today about this. It looks like some people want
to use git.php.net and most people wnat to use github but like to have
a git.php.net backup (which won't help you in case you do a forced push
anyway). There are a few technical things on the git.php.net side to do
and work on. Mostly writting a post-commit hook for github and extending
the current karma system.

At the moment I think it's best if we setup a separate
gitolite+gitweb/gitlab for pear on the very same server. Personally I don't
see a reason why every package even unmaintained should move to git.php.net
but in the end thats up to the pear project to decide.

I think Christian will start with the hole projects. If someone wants
to help and need access or if you have any questions concerning the
current setup, git, karma or our github integration don't hesitate to
ask. Besides that I cannot help you with any codings, setups, etc due
to time constraints.
