I think what we're looking for is something that allows:

1. easy creation of new projects for people with fedora-related ideas
2. easy adding/handling of users and groups so the fedora-admin list
doesn't need to be involved if someone wants to give access to another
fedora contributor
3. probably something that allows a bit of divergence and eases merging
back - one of the reasons I'm interested in git/hg.
