After some browsing, I've learned that github encourages people to make private forks, as a playground or whatever. That may be fine but doesn't really count as an argument for an "official" hosting platform. >> Then closest to Cygwin is the one from cygwinports (Yaakov). > That should probably be the version going ahead with... That fork does not include the issue list (which could probably be added); also github/cygwinports is a github "user account" which, according to https://help.github.com/articles/what-are-the-different-access-permissions/ gives limited flexibility of assigning access rights. I guess as a package maintainer, admin rights of the official repository would be useful, which is an option with a github "organisation account". So I see 3 options: • Yaakov could turn github/cygwinports into an "organisation account" and give me admin rights for the mintty repository. • I could create a dedicated account and repository. • I could host mintty somewhere else.

My concerns against github are different; I have a strong impression that it encourages anarchic project handling, and I feel the concept of everybody being allowed to create forks and submit "pull requests" may not be good for a core project.
