Github provides much better collaborative source control.  However,  
dsource provides a bug tracking system linked to your source code.  I  
guess github does too, but I haven't used it.  I like the Trac interface  
and features, so I'm more comfortable with dsource.

In all, I think Trac (included in dsource) tips the scales for dsource,  
but the one thing that really *really* tips the scales in favor of github  
is that your project isn't lost in a graveyard of abandoned projects.   
That aspect of dsource really needs fixing.  If I were to choose a new  
place for a project, I'd probably choose github, and see how the issue  
tracker works out.
