Hi!

I don't see how it would ease contributing to the overlay. Pool requests
which imply the review? Otherwise pushing to git repo is the same, no
matter where it is hosted.

We have Gentoo's bugzilla.

There is now an official Gentoo wiki at http://wiki.gentoo.org which
would be the appropriate place for sci project.

I don't see any benefit at all. All needed components are there and they
are working fine. If the service disruption is the concern, then it is
only of minor importance and doesn't warrant the move, imo.
