12 There is no problem if github is only used for hosting, but if it is
13 the primary point of contact, or if pull requests are accepted, then
14 github is also writing to repositories, and merge commits are
15 enforced for all external contributions. That does not scale at all.
16 (It works of course, but the repo history ends up looking horrible.)
