GitHub makes it trivial to create and maintain new projects. However, the standard username-oriented workflow implies a bus factor of one. While Git makes it easy to fork projects and patch them elsewhere, establishing a single new upstream is non-trivial. The purpose of project g² is to move open source projects created by @mgorny (and hopefully more @Gentoo developers in the near future) to a single shared organization where they could be maintained with a higher bus factor.
- It's all about trust and mutual respect. Everyone in the organization gets write privileges to all repositories. Don't abuse these privileges and respect the original maintainers of the projects.
- Source repositories only. Please don't fork repositories into the organization just to create a pull request.
