I think it's actually an understandable strategical move from Mozilla. They might loose some income from Google and probably have to cut the staff. But to keep the development of Firefox running they want to involve more people from the community and GitHub is the tool that brings most visibility on the market right now and is known by many developers. So the hurdle getting involved is much lower.

I think you can dislike the general move to a service like GitHub instead of GitLab (or something else). But I think we all benefit from the fact that Firefox's development continues and that we have a competing engine on the market.

For some of us it's working again. It actually only affected few of our repositories.

It seems to be back.

Yeah, saw the same. Let's see how long it will take and when they update the status page.

Now the incident page states that the Git Operations are degraded as well.

Repo view just came back in this moment. Let's see how that evolves.

For me even the repository view doesn't work.

Based on their status page it seems to affect only issues and pull requests … for now.

There is a build in Dropbox support. I think it should be possible to extend it by owncloud or other providers.
