Just add the host and you are ready to roll. So I'm thinking that the hosted Fossil idea is not nearly as useful as GitHub, since the distance between raw Fossil and your hosted solution is far less than the distance from raw git to GitHub. That said, even Fossil requires a host. So if you don't already have a host sitting around (as many people don't) I think such a service would be quite useful.
