Yes!

I quite like the idea of "centralizing" development on GitHub, or similar services. It makes it much easier for everyone to fork, test, make a pull request, merge, etc..

For example, one reason why I gave up contributing to OpenWrt was their absolutely legacy contribution system [1], which required devs to submit code diff patches via email (good luck not messing up the formatting with a modern client) on a mailing list. It took me an hour to submit a patch for three lines of code. It seems like Python wasn't much different. [2]
