There could not be a more opportune time to make a competitor to GitHub, especially one grounded in community and accountability. Git was not meant to be centralized; “pull requests” are not actually an open standard and throwing code over the wall at others is not actually social coding.

@anildash I dispute that "discussing patches over email over a bad mailing list software" are better than having issue templates, kanban boards, automatic reviewers, and browser based contributions & previews...
The former is a recipe to get lost in noise
The later is a collaborative inbox with a definable workflow (like saying pull requests have to pass unit tests, instead of receiving a random patch in a mailing list you must test yourself, by hand)
