However, there probably are developers who have not heard of it, who may serendipitiously come across it on GitHub and maybe one day even contribute. (assuming Inkscape manages to get rated highly enough i.e. stars over there)
In terms of open-source project hosting websites, GitHub has a considerable number of users. Taking advantage of the free hosting provided for open-source organisations on GH, seems to me like an opportunity for greater publicity.
My point is that your proposal boils down to:
- updating the repo _all the time_ - tracking pull requests _all the time_ - reviewing pull requests and merging them _all the time_
Which basically means a dedicated team for Github.
Do we have the human resources for that?
Don't get me wrong: I love Git and personally prefer it to Bzr. I also use Github for personal projects. But I don't expect scattering of the codebase across two repositories to help us a lot. Just my 0.02 euro.
