+1 for GitHub

The advantages of concentration are lower costs and
richer feature set. I am sure the time of the Kamailio developers is better spent on
Kamailio than running a tracker, repo, and so on that still won't be as good as the
concentrated one.
If I was setting up an open-source project today I certainly wouldn't run the repo,
tracker, etc myself - it just wouldn't make sense. Even if GitHub became evil in the
future I could move.
I think it makes sense for any project to review these kind of logistics from time to
time as we are in a rapidly changing world, and given that there was some discussion about
code re-structuring before the next major release a few months back, now would seem a
logical time to give it some thought.
I am quite happy with the status-quo if no-one wants to change but do think this merits
some consideration to make sure we aren't missing out on something that could help
us.
Regards,
Peter

The GitHub concept of forking would make individual developers branches easier to
manage.
The GitHub concept of forking and push-requests would make it easier for people who are
not core developers to submit patches and for the core developers to review them and apply
them.
People have been complaining about flyspray for a while and the GitHub tracker is nicely
integrated into the repository making it easy to relate issues to code and patches.
The GitHub web-UI means that the code is easier to browse, inspect, view history (and
relate changes to issues) than the "default" Git one that is in use at the
moment.
There would be no need for anyone to spend time or money maintaining/patching/fixing the
SIP Router Git repo and flyspray.
Someone else is handling backups and failure recovery.
The use of markdown means that documentation and code can be presented together in a nice
way with GitHub.
I am sure there are more too (which is why so many projects are on there now).
Apart from this, there's a massive concentration of code and projects on a single
site. Sourceforge now is rumoured to send malware with downloads, what can happen to
github in the future? Is this concentration a Good Thing (TM) ?
The Internet is distributed.

What do you see to be GitHub's virtues for this project?
