Have you wondered how GiGeGat [1] works for volunteer

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?

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?
