I'd prefer to host on GNOME infrastructure if I can. I can see a few
issues there though:

1) No GUI way to download the repository as a tarball

2) I don't want it to be slow to give new people accounts

3) Will the accounts team / sysadmin be happy to give git accounts to
people who might have no knowledge of git and are solely accessing the
repository through Sparkleshare?

1 maybe isn't a deal breaker. 2 depends on quite how long it currently
takes. 3... well we need to hear from the concerned parties (cc'd).
