Yes, there is funding set aside to move glibc from the AdaCore hooks
to gitolite and possibly webhooks to run any required hooks on a remote
system. LF IT will be paid to help with that work.

There is also funding set aside for the continued operation of the webhooks
and keeping the system the webhooks run on secure, isolated, and updated.

Does that answer your question?

In one of the general Office Hours for CTI the question was asked:

  * Should we move all Sourceware projects to gitolite?

My answer to this question is "Yes."

I think there is value in moving all of the Sourceware projects to gitolite,
but that's a decision for either Sourceware to make (stop hosting git with
local accounts and migrate) or for the projects to make (like glibc).
