Actually this point is one where IMHO there is not a consensus about it. In my 
opinion, we can very well migrate the master repository to github (or any 
other git repo provider). I don't consider the risk of code corruption any 
larger on a git repository other than one on gnucash.org, as git's checksum 
prevents unnoticed code changes by design anyway. (That's different in SVN, 
though, where the integrity of the server repository is much more vital than 
for git.) 

I remember you have always voiced very clearly you prefer to host the master 
repository on a server that's controlled by one of the gnucash team. But 
actually I think differently about this point and would prefer to host the 
master repository somewhere that requires the least effort for us. IMHO that 
does not have to be a server under our control.
