[edk2-devel] [edk2-rfc] [RFC] Request for new git repository for EdkRepo

[Michael D Kinney]

Hi Nate,

I have created the following Tianocore repositories:

* edk2-edkrepo
* edk2-edkrepo-manifest

I have added you and Ashley to the EDK II Tools Maintainers team with write access to both of these new repositories.

The EDK II Maintainers team has also been grated write access to the edk2-edkrepo-manifest repo.

Best regards,

Mike

> 2. edkrepo-manifest

> Based on the current Maintainers.txt content, the following individuals should initially be given write access to these

> 
> Nate DeSimone <nathaniel.l.desimone at intel.com>
> Ashley DeSimone <ashley.e.desimone at intel.com>
> 
> I have taken a poll between myself and the other maintainer, and given that the project is currently in transition to
> using GitHub pull requests we both prefer to start out using the pull request method of code review for these new
> repositories. If there is any setup needed to enable pull request code review please do so.

> Let me know if the stewards need any more information to complete this request.
