It got merged! So it seems there are actually people maintaining this. However, I'm still not convinced that is really an official place to contribute to. It looks official, but I am not really sure about that. Also I saw that according to GNU github.com should not be used: https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria-evaluation.html But honestly, I would not care about that, I really like GNU, but I surely don't follow all of their guidelines. IMHO it's better to have place where (new, young) developers can contribute to than having a dying SW just because of questionable guidelines. Anyway, how can we find out if this is official? If not, I would prefer to host our own fork on github. Seems we are the only ones caring about GNU Lightning currently, as the mailing list also does not seem to be very active...

Hi, There is already this repository: https://github.com/gitGNU/gnu_lightning This looks like the right place. However I don't know who manages this repository. It is very outdated, so I created a PR to sync it to the latest master: https://github.com/gitGNU/gnu_lightning/pull/1. This way we'll also see if there are people actually maintaining this repo.

I think moving it to github/gitlab could breathe life into lightning again. Personally I prefer github, but gitlab would also be fine.

I gave up trying to upstream some patches after 3 attempts without feedback, and I'm not the only one in this case, it seems. I don't blame the maintainer, who may have very little time on his/her hands, but this situation will eventually lead to the death of the project, if those who want to contribute don't have the means to do so. So let's move the project to github/gitlab, which will allow PRs to be *visible* and not buried in a mountain of emails, and bug reports to actually be seen. Last but not least... Improving Lightning right now is a real pain, because truth to be told, nobody will run the tests on all archs after each commit. But a CI instance on github/gitlab can totally do that. Creating a PR would trigger the tests on all supported archs, and we would immediately detect when something has gone wrong. Hopefully you will agree that it makes sense and is a step in the right direction. Cheers, -Paul
