What difference does it make where the git repository is hosted, assuming
that repository is just as accessible?  I could see it if you were trying to
make an argument for a richer set of non-SCM tools, but you don't appear to
be asking for anything other than a "name-brand" git host.  Contributors are
always welcome to fork, etc. - these aren't features unique to github, of
course.  (You can even fork *on github*, for a non-github hosted project, so
I really don't see any direct benefit on the SCM side).
