Using a DVCS gives you a more pleasant development experience, but the
move to a community focused host makes your project more attractive to
get involved with. GitHub's network graph, fork queue, pull request
system and the ability to watch people/projects are all valuable
features. As an existing github user I'm obviously biased, but at
least in my case there is more chance that NH will recieve a
submission from me at some point in the future if its hosted on github
because

a) I will have more visibility of the work being done on NH
b) Committing to my fork and sending a pull request is very low
friction.
