I also don't think github is a good choice -- it should definitly be
possible for multiple people to fix things in the "official"
repositories, so no single developer can become the bottleneck playing
the gatekeeper to the official repositories.

I agree. What I've done for dorodango is hosting the code on gitorious,
and applying for a project at Gna! <http://www.gna.org> to get a bug
tracker. We could consider a similiar approach for the "ported" project.
