I chose primary between github, bitbucet and gitorious. Because I'm now only learning to use git, I've chosen the most famous and the easiest one. It has also proven its stability. I also don't know if savannah git has some good features like commenting on the parts of source code. But there are more reasons why it's better to host at github: I've already uploaded two first commits, so development has already started before you have written. :-)

So it seems it is better to stick to github (for some time may be). I think that when project will be ready we can move it to savannah.

There will be a lot of changes since I'm going to rewrite gnulib-tool completely, so if we start to discuss every change, it will take years to finish. I think we will discuss every change that will be reflected in the original program.

Let's wait for Bruno to give his opinion.

Wouldn't it be better if the development took place in a dedicated branch
(or set of branches) in the gnulib official repository on Savannah?  See:
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git>

In addition, I believe most gnulib contributors don't even have a GitHub
account (even Bruno doesn't, in fact, unless I'm mistaken).

I think the policy around here it to send each change to the mailing list for
review before applying it; even if it is a quick fix or an uncontroversial
change that can be applied right away, it should still be sent to the list
as an "FYI".

Good luck to you as well ;-)
