[Twisted-Python] git?

I think that it is a shame that Twisted is not on Github(Yep Github, not
just git)

If we make a comparison between SVN and Git, I think it is obvious that Git
is the superior VCS.

That said, I think Github  - as a platform - creates a certain "feeling" of
openness, transparency, accessibility and recognisability.

All things, that make new users of twisted feel better about the project.

As an example I think that most developers know how to submit PR's via
Github, where I (as an example) don`t know how to submit a patch to Twisted
today(of cause I could read up on it, but i already know the other flow).
And that could hold back some people from submitting bugfixes etc.

I feel many developers see Twisted as good and stable, but also a little
'dusty' and old, and I think that a move to Github would bring more code
submitters, more discussions, more accessibility and more '
genereldevelopment' in the project.

For that reasons I feels like it may be a good idea to move twisted to
Github.

If at some point the core dev team decides that such a move should happen,
I would love to help with the movement of issues etc.(all the slave work
:)) (and I think others outside the core team would be willing to help out
too)

That is my view on the case, how does your guys feel about my view on this
matter?

All the best
