The Apache Sling project has a lot of git repositories (one for every module) which suits the modular approach of the project very well. Creating new Git repository works well using the self-service approach from https://gitbox.apache.org/.
However, the following features are missing and not possible as "self-service":
| Feature | Notes |
|---|---|
| Update GitHub repository topics | We want to make it easier for our users filtering for groups of repositories belonging together. Repository topics would solve this. |
| Update GitHub repository description and URL | |
| Archiving/Unarchiving a GitHub repository | From time to time we deprecated modules. We do not want to delete the repos, but lock them done and make it visible to the users that they are no longer maintained. The GitHub archive feature would fulfill this. |
| Disabling JIRA Integration |
They may be helpful for other Apache projects as well.
