This happens with more than just revision control infrastructure. More and
more projects are hosting everything (web, svn, lists) elsewhere, because of
the social and technical issues related to staying upstream -- it's not just
infrastructure (though your example is probably the strongest atm).

Anyway, this warrants a lot of thought.
