Re: [PHP-WEBMASTER] New system to handle GitHub Pull Requests?

Hey Hannes,

What do you need to be giving everyone full administrative access for? Not sure
how familiar you are with GitHub however for an organization account, you can
create teams and assign permissions[1] to those teams. Example: people with
karma can be added to the "write access" team so they can merge changes.

As much as I would love a new tool, it sounds like using GitHub for what it was
built for is a better solution here. Sure, you could build a PHP.net version of
GitHub however that is then something custom that needs to be maintained. All
the feature requests you want to build into the new QA site are available within
GitHub by default.

Using GitHub will also lower the barrier for people wanting to propose changes
as many people are now familiar with the GitHub flow style of proposing changes
to open source projects.

I'd be happy to help you out if you are unsure of how to implement any of this
within GitHub so that we can take full advantage of a managed and existing tool
instead of maintaining a custom solution for this.

Thanks,
Jacob.
