9 1. much faster to open an account on github than to go through a chain
10 of emails between the contributor, infra and gentoo devs.
11 1. easier to track clones and pull
12 1. good luck having a code reviewing tool accepted by infra within a
13 reasonable time frame
14 2. bugzilla + tag [science overlay] is a hack prone to human mistake
15 that gives unnecessary work to bugs scanners, whereas a unified
16 scm+issue system going straight to the dev
17 3. wiki.g.o is up but not unified to a specific project, I have not
18 seen a single sci contribution yet

20 It would be awesome to have infra set up Gentoo projects with a nice
21 unified web+wiki+issue tracker+repo. Unfortunately I don't see it
22 happening in the next year or so. Meanwhile external solutions exist.
23 Basically the idea is to reduce work load and bureaucracy while
24 improving code quality.
