Focusing on the technical details:
- If someone has wide experience with both platform (Gerrit and GitHub) can he/she share his/her view? If there is a blog about this topic please point out.
- What would be the real benefit to migrate to GitHub only?
- Does dropping Gerrit means losing the review history? I assume it cannot be migrated to GitHub.
- those who have voted could give a short justification of their choice?

Should we pay & support a comfort of regimes which built walls against the rest of the world? That is their choice.

Yep.
If Github becomes the only working repo, users from China mainland have to either always use VPN, or maintain local mirrors time by time.

It should be an issue for China mainland users, as they have to use VPN for all other open-source project present on GitHub (MbedTls, Zephyr, FreeRTOS, CMSIS, PSA Arch Tests and etc.)

Hi all,
It is difficult for developers from China mainline to directly access Github.
Option 3 looks more reliable.

Hello,
Quite some time ago there was a proposal to move TF-M into GitHub. The main motivation is: more convenient review process, the Wiki for knowledge sharing and issue tracking facility.
This idea had been discussed multiple times in TSC. The following options were considered:
The options are ordered by complexity and cost each has pros and cons. The Mirror option (3) seeing as the best compromise and practically affordable in a short time.
Please share your opinion and comments on the topic with any dependencies or specific requirements to be considered.
Thanks,
Anton
