Honestly +1 here.
I have pretty much all of my repos hosted under Github and their patch and
review process is *easy* particularly when combined with the new Gerrit
system that's free for FOSS projects.

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.
