42 One thing that comes to mind: Github has some really giganto-awesome
43 features it seems. You seem to use them and since science is hosted on
44 gentoo's infrastructure you don't have the issue tracker and online pull
45 request mangling. Actually, it would be great to have those for
46 science too.
