I appreciate the discussion and know this can be a sensitive topic so read everything below in a spirit of attempted compromise rather than of confrontation!

Likewise. Thanks for framing it as such. Much appreciated!

While I understand your disappointment, the activity we're seeing on GitHub since the move is unparallelled to what we had ever achieved on GitLab with this project, and so I think that move in particular was justified.

Or it may just be that meetings started so there was a reason to engage? Whatever the reason Github seems to work at the moment, but let's be aware of which features we become dependent on as they will be the lock-in if we ever choose to switch for a future reason.

We tried this earlier last year and the friction of requiring an Eclipse account for engaging the broader community, and maintainers in particular, was very real.
