Hello,

lately I got a bit into github after being reluctant for a long time.
My experiences were very positive after seeing how easy and fast it is
to submit and merge patches (pull requests).

Even if those patches are not accepted it is quite simple to follow
the development and rebase your own patches. I have to admit that I'm
a bit biased though. I mainly use git for most of my work, so the
git/github workflow is very appealing to me.

Another big point is, that I think switching to github could revive
development for xmonad which is currently rather stale. Since git is
very popular these days I'd figure that there are many potential
contributors to xmonad on a github base.

So I just ask around if anybody is also interested in this and would
like to support my case. However, counter arguments are welcome too. :)

Best wishes,

Jochen
