Feedback/limitations

while migrating, there are a few limitations that still require solutions (if we have a good location to track these as GH issues, please tell: tracking in Wiki is not ideal but just needs to happen):

• how to merge PRs without using GitHub UI: see https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/pull/237
• how to simplify template boilerplate: see https://github.com/apache/maven-site/pull/787
• after Phase 1 is complete, but Phase 2 is not finished m-changes-plugin can't generate report from Jira Issues anymore: see https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/846
  • fortunately, it seems that only two projects are effected: surefire and maven-mapping (shared-component)

TL;DR - Some statistics about Migration Status

Total sum of GitHub repositories, that have a Jira Projects for migration: 89
