I can provide hosting for a git repo on my Dreamhost shared server, if GitHub is a problem for some people. I’ll gladly hand over SSH credentials to someone who knows how to setup gitolite (https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite/) or another solution for multi-user git hosting. If this doesn’t work on a shared hosting environment, then maybe someone else has a VPS instance they can throw out there?

GitHub is nice for issue tracking and moving quickly, and it’s exceptionally easy for newbies (i.e. content, if it’s in markdown files, can be edited right in the GitHub UI), but I totally understand reservations that some people have with a third-party service. Just my two cents.

Perhaps staying on the Projects infrastructure would be best, as the
integration with the trac would probably help (as opposed to opening
another bugtracker on GitHub).

Although github does have the advantage of providing pull requests and
similar things... In which case we would need n >= 1 active
maintainers who check and manage pull requests, while people can work
on their own forks.

I know of some people who have problems with things being hosted on
GitHub, and I don't know what the stance inside the Tor Project is on
that. Andrew / Lunar, what would your opinion be?
