I think this has been well-covered in the past.  The typical example
is Launchpad, which offers a lot more features in project hosting than
we do.  Projects get used to using things like blueprints, answers,
integrated PPAs, etc.

I'm not a fan myself, but I can see how once a project was already
hooked on a Launchpad-oriented process, it would be work to migrate to
GNOME infrastructure.
