github lets you easily and quickly branch off of any new repo.  I don't
know about the permissions; I think they're per-account, so (as you say)
all or none.  However, with github everyone who had an account there
could trivially host a git repo for us to pull from, with a nice Web
interface...

so, in sum:

using github is an easy way to do collaboration, but you can use
whatever you want as long as the repo is public.

I think Istvan suggested (probably in a downstream reply) that we just
create a 'pygr patch' repository.  I don't know that it's necessary if
all the regular developers just create github accounts that you can pull
from, Chris, but it might not hurt.
