Thanks, Tamas.
Yes, the OpenCI is quite stable for TF-M and there are no plans to change it.
IMHO, the .rst + rendered HTML is quite good and convenient. The valuable benefit is the same review experience, linked to code change. This way documentation has more chances
to be up to date. Wiki could be good for public notes, minutes and ad-hoc publications.

Reading the article one of the author's main points was the benefit of CircleCI integration.
I assume TF-M openCI remain as is and going to be hosted by Linaro. Is it true?
So, in TF-M case that main benefit would be the preference over UI and the issue tracking.
I think the code review capabilities of Gerrit is as good or even better than GitHub. But understand that this is a personal preference rather than a pure technical choice.
Regarding the Wiki feature, it might convenient than the *.rst docs and rendering html. However, many projects do the same.

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?

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
