Hi Barry A few comments for consideration when deciding:
I think the recently introduced "organizations" feature addresses the concerns about supporting multiple administrators. https://github.com/blog/674-introducing-organizations Moses could be hosted under its own name at e.g. https://github.com/moses/moses, as is the case with e.g. stuff like https://github.com/webpy/webpy For commit emails, you would probably need to run something like https://github.com/adamhjk/github-commit-email on a machine somewhere and specify the location as post-receive hook on GitHub: http://help.github.com/post-receive-hooks/ Still free for open source.
