I'm not likely to invest myself much with GUB myself.  The main
incentive would be to do this as part of trying to align oneself closer
with the GNU project in the hope/expectations that others use and
contribute to GUB as a consequence.

How much the LilyPond project would be profiting as a result if at all
is not something I can really estimate.  It is clear that at the current
point of time, not much is happening with GUB, but it's not all that
clear that other people's work on GUB would in turn help LilyPond's use
case.

Well, you were talking about a github-internal move.  First step would
likely be to communicate with Phil and figure out what GUB repository he
is actually working with.  His internet provider apparently is currently
Ddos-attacked, so we probably need to wait until this calms down.
