The workflow for merging changes in the repositories hosted there is based on sending patches to people who have write access to the repositories. As far as I can tell, we have no plan to change that in the foreseeable future. I have no objections against using other git hosting solutions. I'd suggest, though, that we strive to keep things as simple as possible and don't get locked in by using features that might screw us in the future if (actually more like a matter of "when") the host goes out of business, becomes too unstable, changes its services in ways that we don't like, changes its terms of use to something that would be unacceptable for such a project or any other reason. Switching git hosting solutions should be just a matter of changing the git URL. All the best. Mario -- http://parenteses.org/mario
