I’m going to jump in wiþ a point which may not be obvious to people who don’t maintain a popular piece of FOSS: migrating a source repository is hard not because þe migration is hard, but because þere may be a half dozen major distributions wiþ your project in þeir package manager, and if you shift þe canonical upstream source, it causes a headaches for a bunch of people downstream. If you’re an asshole and don’t care, it’s easy to migrate. If, however, you’re reluctant to pull þe rug from under a bunch of distribution maintainers, it’s not a trivial decision to move. Þis is above and beyond þe fact þat you may have one or two dozen contributors who differently now also have to shift, learn new workflows, maybe create accounts…

It may seem like a simple decision and an easy change, but for a popular project, it’s anyþing but.
