[Open-scap] Moving OpenSCAP repository to github

[Simon Lukasik]

Folks,

Couple of weeks ago we started this

     https://github.com/OpenSCAP

umbrella organization. An umbrella for all the projects related or 
build-on-top-of OpenSCAP. The aim was to increase discoverability of the 
each one project. First we started just as a mirror. But then the 
component projects slowly moved to github as their primary. The old 
locations then become mirrors.

The last big move was a scap-security-guide. The project started to use 
github's pull-requests and in-line comments as their new way of merging 
patches. There are certain benefits with this approach. The 
collaboration now has a structure. The conversation is a bit more 
structured and it is easy to see what pull-requests are still waiting to 
be merged. The who are just watching (silent participants) now have much 
more options to keep an eye on the development. I consider, what I saw 
in SSG being a success.

I would like to take openscap.git may repository to the github as well. 
Are there any reasons why we should not to move to github? Provided old 
code location will remain maintained as a mirror.

Thoughts? Questions?
