[Ietf-and-github] GitHub usage for GIT

[Christopher Wood <[e-mail]>]

In Prague, we decided to adopt the “light” usage profile GitHub for WG
documents. This has the following implications:

1. All WG documents will be hosted under the GIT organization, located
here: https://github.com/ietf-gitwg
2. WG contributors are encouraged to post issues on the documents
either on the mailing list or as issues in the GitHub issue list. The
authors will use the GitHub issues list to keep track of open and
closed issues, but all substantive discussion of the issues should be
on the mailing list. Thus, if an issue is opened on GitHub, the
document authors should copy it to the list for discussion. Similarly,
if an issue comes up first on the mailing list, the authors will open
an issue on GitHub to help track it.

We will configure some tooling to track GitHub activity in WG
documents and send weekly summaries to the list. This will help those
not following GitHub stay informed of issues or PRs filed.

And finally, as before, consensus will always take place on the list.

Thanks,
Chris and Paul
