Enough has probably been said about that. Maintaining the KDE buildscript on KDE infrastructure makes a ton of sense to me. Having a separate repository on github for more github focused projects also makes a lot of sense to me (the alternative being to have a read/write mirror). I think having to deal with multiple repositories will introduce some additional complexity as you might need to allow dependencies between them, but I also think it would be a very valuable feature. Anyways, I'd just put the KDE buildscripts on the KDE infra, create a github mirror for now, and then in the long run work on repository dependencies so it's not necessary to duplicate buildscripts in all repositories.
