GitHub Services going away

[pauamma]

(aka, the thing that lets us do changelog posts and a few other things, like - I believe - the autoclaiming thing)

What should replace it for us? Or should there be a bug for it?

h/t: the warning at the bottom of recent changelog entries.

If the question is about how to deal with an adverse change in Github, would Bitbucket solve the problem? The book I used to learn git recommended Bitbucket over Github, but I'm not sure whether the book's reason for that would apply to Dreamwidth development.

OTTOMH, that would depend on whether it's more work to:

- reimplement whatever needs to be using the "new and improved" Github features that will replace Github Services,

- or change everything to use whichever equivalent services Bitbucket provides, if any (and there's a lot to be changed, including editing the dev-docs sections of the wiki that reference Github, which is a lot of them).

I have not investigated the issue in any depth, and have no idea which solution is more work, but I think it's nowhere near a foregone conclusion in favor of Bitbucket.
