I'm actually a little torn on this one. I'm fine with keeping the "master" on Gentoo in the sense that this is where the rsync tree gets generated. However, gitbub has a lot of tools like pull requests that could potentially improve workflow, especially for things like proxy maintainers. So, letting those teams work more outside of Gentoo and just push their changes into Gentoo might make sense. Perhaps github should be viewed as a widely-shared overlay that gets automatic updates from the main tree in the master branch (or whatever we call it). You can work on a branch in github, get it where you want it to be, and then push it to Gentoo pretty easily. When I don't have access to an upstream repository I often just push a copy to a fork on Github just to make my own life easier. Rich
