The main point I think is decreasing entry barriers for potential contributors. Many will likely already have experience using github, but are less likely to have experience with gitlab. Even dough the differences are probably small, why force potential contributors to change their way of doing things if it isn't necessary? If we do decide to use gitlab or gogs, I think we can have the discussions that are happening on guix-devel and guix-bugs there. What about the discussions that happen on guix-help? I'm not sure if we should encourage questions to be posted as an issue or encourage users to ask on stackoverflow. I like posting questions on github directly, but if the project grows we could end up with more "beginner questions" with a "read the manual" answer than other issues.
