Hi, All,

Since we seem to have formally embraced Github, this might be of 
interest: 
https://cryptobriefing.com/circle-github-comply-with-tornado-cash-sanctions/

P.S.: No, I don't have a specific proposal. -- although nothing would 
prevent us from e.g. running gitlab ourselves, I guess -- still, not 
sure the extent to which we'd be relieved of the same issues (as 
previously discussed in other threads).

Thanks,
--
