Agreed.  I had some reluctance to join github to begin with, but
eventually conceded as being on github may help exposure and encourage
people to contribute.  In all honesty though, I can't say that there
has really been any increase in external contribution vs
bitbucket/sourceforge, so whatever benefits dmd or ldc got did not
seem to carry over to gdc.

The only change I have noticed as being part of github is a steady
stream of monthly emails and phone calls (voice messages, I never
answer them), be it universities conducting a study, or recruiters
looking to interview me because they came across my profile.
Sometimes its annoying, but reluctantly accepted as one of the perks
of being on a social site.

Iain.
