Hey this sounds like a good move. Don't have any touch with Amdatu yet but moving to a DVCS is highly appreciated ;)
Regarding Bitbucket vs. Github: i have my eggs in Github but thats a personal preference, also because Bitbuckets Git Support came late. What i've heard from the bloggosphere (and i agree with that): Github has way higher traction among developers,people etc. So putting a project into Github gives you more "back from the community" than it might be the case in Bitbucket. Anyway, both would work out great. Specially for non core developer contribution and visibility. Now, on the "many modules, many git repos" thing: Be aware that moving between them is a clear mess. So the granularity should be rather coarse grained and (of cause) not something like "per maven module". There is also something like git submodules to archive some dependency mechanism between git repositories. But: IMHO this is a pain like nothing else. I know Qi4J moving away from it now, after using it. just my 2cts from a high level view. Keep it up!
