Sorry hit send before I was done.  Here is the rest of the mail:

Step 2:

Around the time of next year's developer meeting (1 year at the most),
we will turn off commit access to the SVN server and enable commit
access to the monorepo.  At this point the monorepo will become the
'one source of truth' for the project.  Community members *must* have
updated their workflows by this date and are encouraged to begin
updating workflows ASAP.

A lot of people asked at the developer meeting about the future
of bugzilla and phabricator and whether or not we will use
github issues and pull requests.  These are important questions,
but are unrelated to the migration of the code.

We also came up with a TODO list for things we want to accomplish
as a community in the next year and beyond related to github.  I
am working on putting these into bugzilla so we can track progress
better and I will send a follow-up email about this.
