As a group of people developing media-explorer we decided to use github. While
I was reticent at first, I have to admit that github is quite nice, offers
useful features and seems to lower the barrier for contributors and advanced
users (reporting issues, branching and asking for pulls, follow a project,
project wiki (Vs the more general live.gnome.org), a way to have public static
pages on http://media-explorer.github.com/ by pushing them into a git repo,
...)

Don't get me wrong the GNOME infrastructure as an exceptional integration level
when it comes to accounts, bugzilla, tarballs but the "project-centric" nature
of github is quite appealing. You also have to add the fact that having it on
github does not strongly link the project with GNOME (despite using *a lot* of
the GNOME stack) which, depending on who you talk to is a good or a bad thing.

Now, why ask for a @gnome.org ml? I got the feeling that the project needed
one, say to be a better citizen, and we (through a small Friday afternoon vote
:p) would rather use a @gnome.org one to start showing our links to the GNOME
project (to be completely transparent, 1/3 of the people answered that they'd
rather not have another potentially low-traffic mailing-list to watch and try
to find something else).

If you feel like hosting the source code on gnome.org should be part of the
prerequisite to get a mailing list on gnome.org, that would be totally
understandable (and needs to be mentioned on the wiki page :p) and FWIW, the
backup plan is clutter-project.org or bite the bullet and administrate it
myself.
