Hi Karsten,

Yeah, and the reason why we used Gitorious instead of GitHub in the
past, for the t_functional git repo, was the fact that the underlying
platform/tool behind gitorious was open-source, while github isn't.

Now that Gitorious is shutting down, and that in the meantime we have
several git repositories hosted under github.com/CentOS, all those
facts lead me to the simple conclusion that hosting now t_functional
under Github.com/CentOS makes just sense. (and it seems collaboration
on github is easy, as we got several PR on those git repositories,
while very few on gitorious, probably because almost everybody had an
account on github, but not on gitorious)

Now, a longer debate around "do we have to move from Github to
something else" is then another debate, but wider than the
"t_functional repository needs to move now from gitorious"

So, I'd say "+1" on the move to github (short-term)
