Hi all, I don't know how much weight my opinion holds at this point but I wanted to share my 2 cents from my limited experience with git.
>From a CLI perspective, I find git to be rather clunky (though very powerful) in comparison to svn. However I do think Github itself would provide some nice features to this project in one convenient place, in particular the ability create issues and review code (via pull requests). Also, this last point is not particularly relevant but a lot of other active python projects are now hosted on Github, including numpy/scipy and matplotlib. I do think having OCW on their too might provide us some nice exposure, though this is just conjecture on my part. So yeah, slightly tl;dr but this definitely has my +1. Oh, and congrats on graduation.
