Moving Repos
  1. Only core moves
  • Move bitcoin to bitcoin-core org, leave bitcoin/bips as is
  • Redirect automatically created as long as no new bitcoin/bitcoin is created
  • Current bitcoin org owners retain ownership
    • Several contributors not comfortable with having bip editors as owners because they would have control over the redirect
    • Bans and other org level actions requires BIP editors to contact org owners
  1. Only bips moves
  • Move bips to bitcoin-bips org (or some other org), leave bitcoin/Bitcoin as is
  • Redirect automatically created as long as no new bitcoin/bips
  • BIP editors have ownership of bitcoin-bips, current bitcoin org owners unchanged
  • Organizational overhead with bitcoin and bitcoin-core remains
  1. Both move
  • Move bips to bitcoin-bips, move bitcoin to bitcoin-core
  • Redirects automatically created for both as long as no new bitcoin/bips or bitcoin/bitcoin
  • BIP editors have ownership of bitcoin-bips, current bitcoin org owners unchanged
  • bitcoin org gets profile readme to indicate it has been sunset
  • risk that github recycles bitcoin org or allows its takeover by scammers which causes redirects to break and malicious bitcoin/bitcoin and bitcoin/bips are created
    • Unlikely as github has been reluctant to recycle inactive names or allow inactive org takeover
  • Organizational overhead removed
