Sorry for the lack of progress on some of the b4 features -- I've been focusing on finishing up list migrations and planning some long-overdue infra upgrades to happen this year.
Unfortunately, my request to be able to dedicate more time to kernel developer tooling hasn't been approved yet. I need to put together a small report of what we were already able to get done with lore and b4 and what I hope to accomplish if I'm able to dedicate more time to working on it. Without that, there's a perception at LF that I'm just putting band-aids on a process that's beyond fixing and it's better to just move everyone over to GitHub/GitLab instead.
(Yes, I know that 50% of maintainers will vehemently agree with that statement, but I also know that 50% of others will just as vehemently disagree with it. My preferred course of action is iterative changes that would allow integrating forge workflows with the traditional decentralized model without having the whole thing rip apart. Now I just need to put this into words and plans.)

@monsieuricon I suggest we get the maintainers together in two teams and fight to the death to resolve the debate once and for all. In the mean time I’m thinking about the same problems for Yocto (handily, also on LF infra) so I’m following your account closely!
@ross both sides have valid and irreconcilable objections -- it's I-don't-want-your-single-point-of-failure-on-proprietary-stack people vs. email-is-terrible-and-lossy-let's-move-out-of-the-nineties-already people.
@monsieuricon aye, I’ve been in enough of these arguments to have started towards the opinion that at some point the maintainer just has to pick and everyone else deals with it.
