Hi, As far as I'm aware we couldn't use github.
There's some info here: http://www.apache.org/dev/git.html A couepl of Apache projects do use git as there main version control but I think there a reluctance to use it over SVN as it still a work in progress/in alpha/beta support: https://git-wip-us.apache.org If you look at the infrastructure mailing list there's been a couple of Git issues recently. Thanks, Justin
