This point is one a critical one to make, in my opinion. Github, if used,
should not, be used for anything but as a means for git mirroring and pull
requests, to facilitate code contribution. Every other aspect of Github:
wikis, issue tracker, etc, should not replace Gentoo infrastructure.
Github functionality should supplement, but not replace Gentoo
infrastructure so that we can remain autonomous and independent.
