I've moved all my projects to Github and I like the color-coding and 
tagging of issues, which makes it very easy to structure the feedback any 
way you prefer, and keep separate discussions alive regarding an issue. 
And that's very important if you want outside contributors to help fix 
those (maybe even years after they have been identified):

However some people dislike Github just because it's not backed by free 
software principles. For me pragmatism rules: no maintenance, Github 
websites are backed by Git too, unfortunately the issue-tracker and Wiki 
are using in-house backends.

The services plugins are open to be adapted, and we modified the email and 
irc services and those changes were accepted, so from that respect they've 
been very open to improvements.

One disappointing fact is that the AsciiDoc integration as lightweight 
markup language is not as good as we would like. The default is a modified 
markdown language.

Alternatives are Gitorious and Bitbucket, but Github wins in ease-of-use 
and functionality.
