Moving to github would involve migration a portion of the lp:divmod.org
source tree, ideally without losing history, and then somehow
reconciling all the branches there, as well as somehow moving all the
branches that exist _here_, both of the old mis-imported pyflakes bzr
mirror of the now-defunct SVN repository and the proper branches of the
lp:divmod.org repository for pyflakes features.

This is a lot of work and there aren't a lot of people who can dedicate
time to working on Divmod stuff.  For the time being I think it would be
a better use of time to educate the github contributors about the
relative equivalence between github pull requests and launchpad merge
proposals; the tools are really not all that different.

If the people interested in contributing code can't even be bothered to
learn to type "bzr lp-submit" then I suspect the code involved can't be
of high enough quality to bother doing all the migration work for :).

Title:
  moving to github

Status in Pyflakes:
  New

Bug description:
  Would you guys be interested in moving to github? There is quite a lot
  of development there for pyflakes and it would make more sense to
  continue there (github is a much better place than launchpad for
  collaboration, IMHO).

  https://github.com/kevinw/pyflakes/pulls
  e.g.
  https://github.com/kevinw/pyflakes/pull/22
  https://github.com/kevinw/pyflakes/pull/23

  What do you think?
