Having a GitHub presence is arguably advantageous to free software
projects because of its user community. It furthermore invites the
whole GitHub generation git users (i.e. people who use the GitHub
interface (pull requests in particular) more than they use git
directly) to contribute to Portage in a (to them) nicer way.

Zach agreed with my idea, and put Portage up[0]. However, Zach is not
available for the time being, nor the foreseeable future. One of use
should put Portage back up on GitHub.

I would be happy to do it myself, and maintain this repository. All
that it takes is syncing with upstream Portage every now and then
(maybe daily). I could post relevant pull requests here for review, or
add you guys to the repository so that you could review it (I know
Mike is on GitHub, and so are probably a lot of you guys) and merge
it, and push it upstream.

If you guys don't want *me* to do this, then that is understandable.
After all, I am not a project member (but a mere contributor). I still
strongly suggest putting Portage on GitHub. It doesn't really matter
*who* does it.
