Just to be clear, I have no objection to making GitHub the main point of
random access and non-committer activity. If nothing else it would
reduce my bandwitdh consumption significantly ;) I consider that in the
same vein as us using sourceforge to distribute the release sources and
binaries -- it's a good way to distribute it. It also does make it
easier for users to join.
I just still feel that the master repo should be on code, and that the
committers should be able to push there. Then it can sync to github for
everyone else.
I suppose it could work in reverse, where the committers push to github
master and then code pulls from there, but I don't like that as much for
reasons that I'm still apparently not able to clearly explain.
But just to reiterate, I am NOT saying we should not use github. I'm
only saying that I feel the canonical repository should still live on
code.
