Hi Benda, |

Github's pull-request feature makes it very easy to contribute to the open |
| 4 |
source project. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I admit that this is not a very appealing reason. But think about why |
| 7 |
sf.netand google code loses their "market share" to github, and why |
| 8 |
Homebrew wins |
| 9 |
MacPorts. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Github's pull-request feature gives a more casual ways of contributing open |
| 12 |
source project (compare to patch/ebuild submission on bugzilla). The |
| 13 |
casualty may conflict with Gentoo's principles, but I think it's good for |
| 14 |
gentoo-prefix. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Gentoo-prefix needs more contributors, and I believe an official github |
| 17 |
repo can help. |
