<pre wrap="">indeed there i this thing called trac which i wonder if people actually
use/look at.
so we really have 3 issues at hand
1) switch the core tree to using git
2) make sure that release branches have a history
3) pull from github trees
1) & 2) are just technical / organizational issues i guess
as for 3), if we move to gihub we have yet another entry point that we
need to look after. ok, we could close trac but that would just move the
"noise" from one place to another. obsoleting the rest of the existing
infra is also a bit quirky i guess as people are using it actively.</pre>

I think they're a good example of an open source community which
went through the process of improving the way people can join the
community and contribute, they also raise funds to pay for hard
tasks like redesigning the website, organizing sprints, periodically
hire a "fellow" which reviews (accepts/closes and occasionally
fixes) tickets and so on.<br>
Since they started doing this django has improved massively.<br>
<br>
I understand the desire to self host, so I suggest to take a look at
gitlab community edition.<br>
