Dashamir, most of the Debian tools are actually running quite well, e.g.
the wiki and Salsa.

The only thing that is uncertain is a Kanban board / Kanboard.

If we are unable to get an official Debian.org Kanban instance running
then I volunteer to run an instance on my own server, it is in a data
center, not in my home. I would be happy to run anything that can run
on stretch, including:

- Kanboard
- Redmine + the Redmine agile plugin[1]
- RT + the plugin as discussed on debian-devel

- if somebody wants to propose/evaluate something else, please ask

I am already proposing to give a try (evaluate) GitHub organizations:

- https://help.github.com/articles/about-organizations/

I have used them successfully and they are just splendid, like all the rest of GitHub.

What's wrong with GitHub? Why people hate it? Just because they are successful?

Even Google itself deprecated and discontinued its coding infrastructure,

because they realized that GitHub is better. The same for other companies

all over the world (including Microsoft):

Of course, if I could have my own infrastructure, I would trust it more than

the infrastructure of GitHub. And also I would trust my own infrastructure

more than the infrastructure of Debian. But guess what? Nobody else would

trust my infrastructure, besides me.

Between the infrastructure of Debian and that of GitHub I would certainly

trust more the infrastructure of GitHub. It is more reliable, more secure,

it is much better (feature wise), more robust, more available, etc.

It is also free (no price), open-source friendly, imposes on me no rules

or restrictions (I hate the dictatorship of the communities), etc.

And hey, if NSA can infiltrate GitHub, they can certainly infiltrate Debian

much more easy. So GitHub is also more trust-worthy for me.
