RFC: make this repo a fork of mesa/mesa
I believe the only reason why this repo isn't already a fork of mesa/mesa is that this repo was created before mesa/mesa/ was moved to GitLab.
While the GitLab UI doesn't allow modifying the fork-relationship of projects, the API does. I believe I can create such a relationship, by issuing this command:
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <access-token>" "https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/api/v4/projects/10/fork/176"
...obviously with a real access token instead of <access-token>
in there, but I'm not going to share that here. 10
is the ID of this project, and 176
is the ID of mesa/mesa.
Doing this would allow people to send merge requests here without needing an extra fork of this repo under their users, which seems like a good thing. We're about to start up some work at Collabora that is expected to take a while to land, where multiple people need to submit MRs, and this seems like the best home for that.
The only potential problem I could see is if messing with the fork relationship here somehow messes with pre-existing forks of this repo. I have no real indication that it does, just a (potentially imaginary) worry that it does ;)
So... thoughts?
