So reporting bugs etc should not be a problem.
My concern though is that currently RKH allows users to update the data files via SF (using 'rkhunter --update'). Moving to github would basically remove that functionality. Users could manually update the files by downloading them from github, but I suspect that would not go down too well! An alternative is to remove that functionality from RKH, and only provide static data at each release. Again, not ideal, however the data files themselves do rarely change.
