Great questions, Nick.
For now, I am still active as Benevolent Dictator of the project, handling
all pull requests.
All GitHub-related permissions have been transferred with the project over
to the new location.
But very soon (I hope by early next week at the latest) I will be sending
out a draft of community bylaws addressing precisely these questions. These
should specify roles and processes for community self-management. I'm
looking forward to any feedback, as I know there are many experts on
self-governance here. I will be providing a standard and simple process
based on best practices in community-driven open source communities.
All best,
Seb

Sounds good.
Is anyone committing directly to the datactive/bigbang repository, or all
through pull requests? Who all is handling merging of pull requests? Any
other permissions or roles we should know about?
Cheers,
Nick

The transfer is complete!
This is a big deal. From now on, datactive/bigbang is the core repository
for BigBang.
New issues and pull requests should be logged there.
Please also update the remote paths of your local BigBang repositories to
reflect this change.
sbenthall/bigbang will now be my personaa *fork* of datactive/bigbang,
where I will push code in preparation for inclusion in the
datactive/bigbang repository.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions about this, as it's a big
change!

Hello,
This is an *important* update regarding BigBang.
We are in the process of *transfering* the GitHub project to a new
location. This means we are moving the issues, milestones, and wiki of the
project. This is in order to facilitate moving the project infrastructure
into a place where it can be managed by the community. (Big thanks to
Harsh Gupta for suggesting this!)
The project currently located at :
https://github.com/sbenthall/bigbang
will be moved to the new location:
https://github.com/datactive/bigbang
Because there is already a *fork* of bigbang in the *datactive*
organization, this is a little tricky. I will be *deleting the fork* so
that there's no conflict when I *transfer the project*.
In preparation for this, I have copied the issues from datactive/bigbang
to sbenthall/bigbang, so that history is preserved.
I'll be doing these steps momentarily. This email is to make it clear
what I'm doing so nobody is surprised.
