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.
I like git, but I don't like github. It's become a sort of proprietary monopoly and doesn't seem to get the deserved criticism for having poor project management, branding, merge management and bug tracking. And well, for being proprietary.

I think it would still be a good idea to have a read-only repository as a mirror on github. For example, git does that [1]. They do not use any of github's features except git hosting. All development still happens on the mailing list. I think such a mirror would increase visibility. Also, it's free, the only cost is a cron job regularily updating it (which I'd be happy to provide).
