It is way to early to say, but at the moment, the only developer who has pushed a change to GitHub is one who is equally OK with either a git repository hosted by the ASF with an GitHub mirror, or with a subversion repository - other than a preference over GitHub's UI over viewvc's UI. If this experiment does not attract contributors (which does not require multi-factor authentication) and no committer other than myself uses GitHub, then I would be inclined to conclude that the experiment was at best inconclusive, and at worst a failure. - Sam Ruby
