Yes it is. I don't have any special preferences about this. For github it looks like someone has to pay: https://github.com/plans I suspect, though I didn't ask, that Red Hat won't be willing to pay for this, because Red Hat indirectly supports Fedora's git hosting (http://git.fedorahosted.org/) which is rubbish compared to github, but free. I was always reluctant to use fedorahosted since it implies that libguestfs is somehow tied to Fedora, which it isn't (in fact quite the opposite: some Fedora members have been actively hostile to libguestfs). Perhaps this is not a concern -- after all, we use plenty of projects that are hosted on LaunchPad. Another possibility is OpenShift (https://openshift.redhat.com).
