Hi Laurens,

Thanks for pushing this. Personally, I would prefer Launchpad and Bzr,
but we've been thinking about using it for the past 3 years, and nothing
really happened. What I really care about is that we move away from Trac
(for bugs at least) and SVN.

As I told you in Florence, if you come with a nice migration plan *and*
you're ready to take on the burden, that's awesome and you have all my
support for moving to Github. But, if somebody else is ready to do the
same thing for Launchpad, I'll support him first. It seems unlikely though.
