 don't do it.  there are a lot of reasons.  i have explained the
reasons many times to many projects in many places.

 to repeat some of them here:

1) github is a self-promoting self-serving NON-FREE proprietary site

2) github encourages people to self-promote in the interests of the
selfish person NOT THE GROUP.

3) if you the selfish person decide "fuck this i'm going to shut down
my personal account" you take the entire fucking project down

4) if you decide you cannot be bothered to maintain the project,
because it is a PERSONAL ACCOUNT there is NO WAY TO RECOVER THE
PROJECT.

5) if you decide to shut down your personal account a spammer may
START A NEW ONE WITH THE EXACT SAME NAME.

please for fuck's sake stop promoting and using github.

please set up your own gitolite3 server, add multiple sysadmins with
multiple users, or use savannah, sourceforge, or set up a fusionforge
server *ANYTHING* other than github.
