[asterisk-users] Asterisk Infrastructure Move to GitHub

[George Joseph]

In order to reduce the amount of system maintenance and administration that
needs to be done by the Asterisk team at Sangoma, we've decided to move
capabilities such as issue tracking, code management/review and
documentation/wiki to hosted solutions. Last year, we compared GitHub and
GitLab and while the evaluation of documentation/wiki alternatives is still
ongoing, we've decided that GitHub offers the best alternative for issues
and code management/review.

The [Asterisk Community Forums](https://community.asterisk.org/) are
already hosted by Discourse and are not moving but you can now also use
your GitHub account to log into the forums. Make sure the email you use for
the forums is also listed under your account Settings/Emails in GitHub.

So...

Over the weekend of April 29-30 2023, GitHub will become the official and
sole platform for issue tracking and code management.  IT IS NOT POSSIBLE
FOR US TO MIGRATE EITHER ISSUES OR CODE REVIEWS TO THE NEW PLATFORMS but
the existing Jira issue tracker and Gerrit code management systems will be
placed in read-only mode for historical reference.  At some point in the
future, the historical issues in Jira will be exported to a searchable
format and the system deactivated.  The Gerrit system will be deactivated
at the same time but since the most important historical data is already
captured as part of the commit history, there's no need to create a
searchable archive.

More detailed information, especially concerning release tarballs,
changelogs, etc are at
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Release+Management

NOTE:  If you're an Asterisk contributor, stay tuned.  There will be more
info about the code management/review process in the next day or so.
