The system looks good. I think the only concern that I would have is integrating pull requests (Allura calls them merge requests) easily, having it be as easy as Github - we want to make that as painless as possible for contributors.
I took a look at an example here: http://sourceforge.net/p/allura/git/merge-requests/3/ The contributor would have to have their forked repo hosted on our system (and create a new account), just like Github's system. My fork of Allura has been stuck at "analyzing" (in the left sidebar) for a while and I can't find where to send a merge request yet in the UI from my forked repo, so I can't evaluate that yet, which I assume in the left sidebar has a lot of functionality I am missing.
