If we were to change the infrastructure we use for hosting git trees, we'd need something more concrete than "wouldn't it be nice". Please give us a list of advantages, changes, potential pitfalls, pricing, etc. For example, why gitorious and not github? This is a bit too much like writing a letter to Santa :) Cheers PS: Also, I'm not sure that the foundation list is the best place to discuss such infrastructure changes, unless you're wondering about funding.
