Switch your repository to GitHub / GitLab to be more easy access for your code, more easy people for report bugs and more easy can contribute to your code, also enlarge your community.
It also great chance to switch from SVN to git. Also you can do a discord channel like other open source dose to keep in touch with the community.
Just be happy and open for everybody

VirtualBox is not a community development project. Being open source is not at all the same thing.

I'm also disturbed that you made no mention of VirtualBox. This smells like spam.

I find the suggestion of switching to GitHub quite sensible, if VirtualBox is open sourced at all (as opposed to just free).

Please switch your opensource to github, for more people will access and can contribute.
Still you can have only oracle working people have write access to public repo. But, people can create a pull request and you can review them. more easy and understand and communicate with patches / new code inserted to the repo.
Also in github, there is a free CI, that you can compile and build and test the virtual box.
Also issue and code are together. More easy for community to track and engage that everything in one place.
Also you can create automated agreement. If people want to signup ICA or release it on MIT licenses. similar what Microsoft and other company have in their public repo.

Merged to your previous topic on the same subject, LatR. Future repeats will be deleted.

You should seriously consider Mpack's thought above on why this may not be implemented. You'll have to build a much stronger case to convince Oracle to make this change.

FWIW a two-repeat-post forum user probably won't get much of the devs' ears to have a chance to convince them. Help out on the forum for a few thousand posts, and the devs might be more open to hear your idea.

And finally, the devs don't read the forum much. The Bugtracker is where enhancement requests can be made. However, you'll get listened to more if you help out more, as noted above.

I'm puzzled. It is frankly none of our business what dev tools the devs choose or prefer to use. Why do you want to influence them? As I said above, VirtualBox is not a community development project, so their tools are none of our concern.
