Here's the way I look at it: the power of github.com comes not so much from the web UI or even API, but from a network effect. It is where developers congregate. Thus we'd have to have mirrors of our stuff there anyway to enable PR workflow for projects that care about it. And as long as THAT is in place, the need for something like GL is reduced, IMHO. Thanks, Roman.
