[RFC] time to move to github?

I also find the patch by email process confusing.

I consider that my issue, of course, and that I need to just sit down and
learn it. Alas, learning patch by email becomes one of those tasks that is
very easy to put off in the face of other urgencies.

I'll ask a silly question. What if we put a branch on GitHub to test while
continuing to use Fedora hosted? It would be a little extra work for a bit
for someone to keep them in sync. But if they are both Git under the hood,
shouldn't it be relatively easy to maintain both for a 45 day trial.
