Yes, I think that makes sense, though when we last discussed this I thought the consensus was Gitlab instead of Github on the basis it is at least open core (and you had some concerns around Github ownership).
We have been discussing a potential move for quite a while. As the preliminary step for either of those would be the bzr -> git translation, my thinking was that completing that transition would be a step in the right direction.
You are right that we have a fair bit on with the 0.8.00 release and the move to Python 3 and I agree it probably makes sense to just focus on that for now. To ensure we do not break anything in those changes I have been wanting to build some more robust backwards compatibility tests and backend tests into the test suite. It would be great to have those as part of a CI suite testing each proposed merge, but if I do them as part of the existing test suite and use environment variables for any secrets, we should be able to move them over to anything new.
Kind regards,
Aaron
