Hi there, from a personal perspective, as a github users (read biased opinion), I've been refrained from contributing and publishing diffs because: - the process of patch approval was not clear, - communication around a patch is made difficult by mail (which are already follinwg throughout the days) - current open issues are not listed and cannot be discussed by the community (to propose patch for instance)
I have the feeling that a move to github would make lots of things clear for global collaboration. Although, the fact that the project is hosted at fedora is a good quality stamp/branding :) my two cents.
