I don't feel like I could keep Github running as well as most, but for the entire time I've had my personal server running, it only went down once due to a hardware failure on Linode's end. For simple stuff, a simple sysadmin will suffice. Github has thousands of users and cares about performance, I have maybe 5 and I couldn't care less if my server used 2000% more cpu than it's supposed to. Different levels of complexity, you see.

+1 to you for that. We tried github for some of our private projects, but soon switched to a linode+redmine+git/hg. Now we are no rails champs; we all are python guys but setting up redmine(with some plugins was a cake walk) same goes for git/hg. We never needed to hire hardcore sysadmins for this stuff. PS: We love github very much. its made it so easy to collaborate everyone.
