Well let's think about this.  If github went away, or we needed to part 
ways with github, what we would we want to keep from their site?  An 
example is all the discussion on "The Crystal Programming Language" pull 
#105.  That discussion should have happened on our bugzilla so we have 
that history on our own infra.  Can we get the gentoo-bot to organize 
email notifications in such a way that we can easily search and read 
histories by issues and/or pull requests?
