That would be a great result :). Also pagure looks very interesting - simpler than gitlab. I like simple. I think we should view the incubator as a list of 'throw-away' repo's. I.e., only the final result matters as and will go into Guix which means we can start anywhere. If we start on notabug and notabug migrates, only the better and we can host ourselves when we decide the process is workable. When we get channels anyone can set up such an incubator anyway. The incubator is not Guix (tiing). Pj.
