I only replied to Tarek instead of the list. Sorry Tarek that you're going to get this twice So given the consensus was to move it away from BitBucket, and we would like to not get stuck with proprietary sites like GitHub. How does this plan sound? We will host the mainline development on an entirely free site - GitLab - and mirror the repository on GitHub for visibility. We will disable issues on GitHub but still accept pull requests via GitHub. My reason for preferring GitLab over Gitorious is that GitLab allows users to sign in with their GitHub login, so if someone already has a GitHub account, they can simply authorize GitLab to have read access to their user data and then create and comment on issues.
