Re: [RFC] Migrating to GitHub issues

GitHub is a proprietary platform, where unlike with the code repositories, the interactions and issues are not easy to migrate out of again. It is also now owned by MSFT, and although they are making friendly noises towards Open Source, I remain largely skeptical (with as a hint, the stuff they're pulling with AI code completion). All open-source projects I know and use in relation to PHP development

are on Github (like Composer and Symfony, to just name two big ones), which in my opinion makes Github an ideal platform for the PHP project itself, as the barrier of entry is lowered. This also has the advantage that if Github "becomes evil" (or just gets worse) for whatever reasons, the PHP project will just be one of many open-source projects which needs to move to a new place. This gives this solution a safety in numbers and will probably make it easier to move rather than harder.
