Yep, I'm responsible for the experimental deployment of GitLab that Vincent
mentioned before. I wasn't aware a migration was beeing worked on and that
GitHub is the current target, sorry for jumping in uninformed in this
thread.

I agree that having a free service taking care of infrastructure and
security issues is a nice thing, but I also think that what is free today
might not be free tomorrow and it's good to at least have a plan for that
day. For instance, the throttling REST API that GitHub offers does not only
make migration to GitHub difficult it will also affect an eventual
migration *from* GitHub.

I've only put a small amount of effort to deploy GitLab at this point and
while I'm willing to do more I agree it should involve more than one person
and need a clear motivation from involved parties to defend the effort
required to maintain it properly.
