I considered that aswell recently, but I'm not yet convinced.

I see the increase in contributions to dmd after the move to github, but 
my own experience with it has not been too positive: making patches for 
dmd is rather time consuming, I always have to struggle to get the 
simple stuff done (while it was just adding a diff to the bugzilla in 
the subversion times). As a result, the number of patches that I have 
provided has dropped considerably. My feeling is that git allows a lot 
of complex things at the cost of making standard operations much more 
complicated than necessary.

Using git/github is probably less work for you compared to svn, but this 
also depends on a rather large infrastructure like the auto tester. I'm 
not sure it does actually help for a project with very few contributors.

There haven't been a lot of community contributions to Visual D so far. 
To everybody interested: Would a move to github change that?
