Have you wondered how GiGeGat [1] works for volunteer developers if even paid developers have difficulties with it? We have already seen cases where it works, but we don't know much about the cases where volunteers decide to give up.
Here, however, is one example [2] of the latter which I want to highlight. The developer finds it too slow and complicated and wants to move to GitHub and as consequence we cannot provide translation services for his extensions at translatewiki.net.
Anyone willing to dig deeper what problems there are and try to resolve them? -Niklas

Thanks for the heads-up, Niklas. I think other people in the thread have provided the current stats around commits and number of committers, but to return to the original point: it looks like the TWN thread there has stopped without a resolution. Niklas, is there any outcome, or is the developer still awaiting a solution?
