[Mailman-Developers] Using git for mailman development during GSoC is NOT RECOMMENDED

[Terri Oda]

I just added the following note to the wiki and I want to repeat it here:

While it is possible to use a git mirror or other tools to use git for 
Mailman core and Postorius development, we DO NOT RECOMMEND USING GIT 
for GSoC.  Merge requests need to happen on launchpad (that is the one 
way new code gets accepted into those projects), and previous GSoC 
students have found that the time required to make it all work is more 
than they anticipated.  (We may one day switch to git, but it won't be 
happening this summer.)

Sorry!  I know our official stance for regular contributors is "use 
whatever as long as you can submit a launchpad merge request" but for 
GSoC students, you're on a short timeline that's going to be busier at 
the end than the beginning and experience says it's much safer to learn 
launchpad and use it from the get-go than risk time-consuming problems 
later in the process.
