You're right. Then just remove "to submit pull requests" from my argument and it still holds, simply because the vast majority of the Django ecosystem is on GitHub, and you can't participate meaningfully without GitHub. I could change my mind if you provided examples of prominent Django contributors who can't have a GitHub account for a good reason. Even then I'm not sure that would beat the advantage of having the occasional bug reporter arrive on Trac and think "hey, cool, I can login to this bug tracker with GitHub". -- Aymeric. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
