I really hope this doesn't get stalled. Reiner, Lars, are you for or against switching Gnus to Bazaar? Note pretty much everyone, me included, is OK with Git instead of Bazaar. It can be synchronized with Bazaar and interfaces like Magit make it really nice. So really I'm pushing for a decent DVCS, although I'd prefer Bazaar or Git over the others. If yes to Bazaar, are you in favor of hosting with Savannah or keeping it on gnus.org? I assume with Git it would be hosted on gnus.org. I really think a DVCS will improve Gnus as a project and it's a pretty easy conversion since at least one trustworthy Git mirror exists. It would certainly make it easier for me personally to work more on Gnus. We can use the Emacs conventions for ChangeLog and commit message formatting. Ted
