Joni, I owe you an apology.

I was told by a member of this list who'll be left nameless that you were maintaining it with Github, not 
Gitlab, so that's where the concern arose. Again, I wasn't purposely attempting to be over-dramatic, as Nick, 
and a few others imply. I honestly did, not, know, and was just trying to ask if it would cause issues. Now, 
I know it won't, and that my question undoubtedly was stupid.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen services/platforms get bought out by other companies who then 
change their interfaces, their API's, etc, and really do cause issues, even if not from an accessibility 
standpoint, though sometimes so.

That's the only reason that I was a bit concerned. Given my assumption that you did! maintain things on 
Github, can you folks not kind of see where I was coming from? If not? I'm sorry, like I initially said.

Chris.

I don't understand how this impacts Orca. GNOME maintains its own git
services. Until quite recently, it was git.gnome.org. Now it is
gitlab.gnome.org.

A few years ago, some members of the GNOME community thought it would be
helpful to have a github mirror and put one into place for all repos
maintained under the GNOME umbrella. But GNOME developers have not been
under any obligation to use github or, for that matter, even acknowledge
the existence of the github mirror for their repo. So I've not been
using github for Orca.
