4 Having a GitHub presence is arguably advantageous to free software
5 projects because of its user community. It furthermore invites the
6 whole GitHub generation git users (i.e. people who use the GitHub
7 interface (pull requests in particular) more than they use git
8 directly) to contribute to Portage in a (to them) nicer way.

10 Zach agreed with my idea, and put Portage up[0]. However, Zach is not
11 available for the time being, nor the foreseeable future. One of use
12 should put Portage back up on GitHub.

14 I would be happy to do it myself, and maintain this repository. All
15 that it takes is syncing with upstream Portage every now and then
16 (maybe daily). I could post relevant pull requests here for review, or
17 add you guys to the repository so that you could review it (I know
18 Mike is on GitHub, and so are probably a lot of you guys) and merge
19 it, and push it upstream.

21 If you guys don't want *me* to do this, then that is understandable.
22 After all, I am not a project member (but a mere contributor). I still
23 strongly suggest putting Portage on GitHub. It doesn't really matter
24 *who* does it.
