Re: [incubation] How do we move github repos from our organisation to the Eclipse organisation?

From my experience there's no "have to" in Eclipse, only guidelines and best practices. 

That may be true in some areas, but I fought hard to avoid squashing history when my project joined Eclipse and lost. I don't think you can avoid it.

If you have special needs or concerns, you should discuss with your Eclipse mentor and seek the best for both your project and the Eclipse foundation. They are very flexible, don't be afraid to express your concerns if you think the default isn't convenient for you.

What? We were told we had to squash history when moving…

As an Eclipse MicroProfile commiter, I know there are 2 options to create a github repo at Eclipse

 - create a new empty repo based on Eclipse template (EPL license file, etc.)
 - migrate an existing repo under the Eclipse github org, preserving history, issues and everything else

As an example of the second option, have a look at https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-config - it was migrated under eclipse org this year, but there are still issues and commits dated to 2016 - everything was preserved from day 1.

So I wouldn't be afraid of losing history.

Yes. You might want to add the tag "initial-code-contribution" as tag.
I used "Initial Code Contribution - CQ 7916" at the first commit to
ensure proper referencing to IPZilla.

I also agree that an BugZilla issue is the best way to move forward.

Cheers,

Oliver
