Any chance we'll see the Rivendell code base move to Github at some point?
 CVS is a world of excruciating pain by comparison.  Almost nobody uses it
anymore, and fewer and fewer people feel comfortable with it as time goes
on, so it has the effect of making the source code repository feel a bit
more inaccessible and isolated from the world.

I had to work with CVS for three years when I worked for Ticketmaster,
until they moved to Subversion, which was marginally better.  Both are a
world of extreme hurt compared to Git, that I wouldn't wish on my worst
enemy.  I'll never, ever, ever go back.

If nothing else, Github makes it extremely easy to browse the code and
commit history on the web so it's quick and painless to explore and
investigate the code without even having to check out a copy.  Further, it
makes the process of submitting and merging patches almost criminally
simple.

I'd be willing to bet that moving to Github would have a noticeable
positive impact on the number of useful code contributions and improvements
you receive.  And the process for reviewing the code, sending notes to the
contributor, waiting for them to make the requested improvements, and then
merging the new changes into the master branch is brain-dead easy.  As
opposed to CVS... where branching and merging is so frighteningly complex
and difficult and error-prone that it's the stuff of nightmares, and that
fear keeps people from even bothering.
