> Agreed, I don't mind projects using other hosting but mirrors would be excellent to have for backup and as a channel for pushing changes downstream. I encourage using GitHub because it is convenient and well suited for the purpose. Additionally it would give Lua presence among other open source projects and languages [1].

+1: It would be great if more projects have synced clones and eventually 
issue trackers at github/bitbucket just for the sake of lowering barrier 
for community contribution. IMHO, It is not git itself, but the 
"fork/pull requests", "inlined comments on commits", "all forks graph", 
"issues" and "wiki" are the features that actually accelerates 
contribution activity for the projects.

I prefer Mercurial on daily basis, but I am very grateful to github for 
their lead role in that mini-revolution in the open source - just recall 
old sourceforge hegemony years :-(
