[platform-dev] how long will repos remain on gerrit (read-only?)

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

How long will the gerrits for platform projects moving to GitHub be left around? (Sorry if this is asked and answered somewhere else)

I have various WIP gerrits[1] that I hope to come back to one day. Until now I have considered gerrit a safe place to store such WIP (as I would my own fork on GitHub). 

In addition, the review comments of the gerrits are very valuable when trying to unravel an old issue.

I ask because some projects that have migrated from gerrit to GitHub seem to have lost their gerrit entries (Tycho[2]) while others still live on gerrit (like LSP4E[3])

[2] https://git.eclipse.org/r/165496 for https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=564670 is no longer available

Thanks
