Please read my previous responses regarding why I would choose Github
over Gitorious, specifically:

"Nokia is a strong Gitorious supporter, so I have considered using it for 
several different projects. I have consistently found that many of the
features that make git less painful that I care about are only on GitHub.
Importantly to me personally is the network browser, which (since
Git doesn't have it built in) is dependent on people being on the same
host: at that point, GitHub simply has a bigger network effect, because
more developers already use it. "
