Hi, I like versioning systems so learning a new one is interesting. The paradoxal point with this github is as follows:
(+) One of the idea is to let non-core developers contribute (make commits... in their branch only) in an easy way. I love the github tool that shows you which branch will merge easily with yours... (well, I love it when it's green). That's great. (-) Less experienced developers are not allowed to commit to the trunk because... they are less experienced; that's OK. But in the meantime, IMHO they are required to have a better understanding of git than what is required to commit directly to the main repository. Still, probably the (+) is bigger than the (-). I saw the same doubts in teams migrating from cvs to svn, and none of them wish to go back. Just my 2 cents.
