I'm not saying that moving to github is necessarily a bad idea, I personally 
use it for my projects, but I'd also like the developers to be aware of the 
recent troubles they've been in.

The policies of github are probably the most reasonable considering they're the 
only major git hosting service that allowed this one on their site:

I'm not the biggest fan of github's heavy use of Javascript (doesn't work in 
links and netsurf, tried it with duktape and spidermonkey, no success) so if 
you're concerned about browser security and being able to graphically browse 
git via web interface, I'd look elsewhere. I've always liked cgit and gitweb 
due to their minimalist design but github does offer some extra features like 
being able to browse the committers, view pull requests and such. Gerrit has 
similar features, but not a lot of projects use it. Github does have the best 
user interface IMO and for that, I use it, but at least check this out:

Just throwing this out there.


Cheers!
