I'm with Pieter on this one. Martin, I understand where you are coming from, because I think we both have similar backgrounds, although, it took one persistent friend of mine to show me the other side of the coin.
GitHub is a huge community, in fact, it got so big that Linus Torvalds now has an account there now and is working on a couple of personal repos. GitHub's interface is very friendly that a newbie can easily learn it, registering for an account is trivial to say the least. Again, I completely understand and respect your background Martin, but things like GitHub and others definitely makes life a lot easier. So don't look at it from the perspective that this will break discipline or that it is a "lock-in" but rather try to see the benefits and time-saved by having all the facilities GitHub provides.
