Since the existing infrastructure is still
working for 4.1.7 and we
already have the patches ready to go, we should just get it merged.
Agree that we need to get to this, but I think it would be less
disruptive to deal with this as part of 5.0, rather than add development
time to a legacy bug fix release. 5.0 will have new language keys and
(likely) a new directory structure anyways.
Let plan on discussing translation impacts on 5.0 after we get moved to
Github. That we we have our new CI setup in place before making any Phab
tasks.

Correct, the ticket for the transfer
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T105056> has been filed. My
(potentially naive) assumption is that, based on the docs, we can at least
use the current "export" step to apply localization updates locally, then
push a commit or pull request manually (at least for now).
Assuming this is feasible, we should be able to take ownership of TWN
sync independent of when we switch to GH.
Corey, what do you think of TWN ownership (and sync) as part of
releasing 4.1.7? We've been kicking this can down the road for a while, so
I like the idea of making the next TWN sync one we run ourselves.
As far as when the switch will happen, I still need to work that out
with Corey to make sure we've thought through (and hopefully avoided) any
potential negative impact on our ability to deliver 5.0 in Q1. My rough
estimate is that moving to GH and hooking up Travis should only be a couple
days work, just need to talk through it & prioritize the tasks in the
backlog.

That would be fine with me. As long as the TWN
guys don't have a
problem with that to have multiple points of contact that would work nicely.
When is the Github move going to happen?
