The discussion was many months ago on the infra lists. I don't recall if it was public or private. The gist is that this PMC is responsible for keeping the IP in shape and doing the work in the open. The support of GIT has come a long way by Infra. You should ask because there may or may not yet be a document that discusses how far to go. If github is broken then please go to Infra to ask how the project can help.
