I'm not so sure. I think it's really questionable if the SCM used is a major factor in deciding what open source project one wants to contribute to? "I would want to contribute to OpenBSD, but they use CVS, so I won't" - really? o_O
I get that github is probably the "lowest barrier to entry" here, but providing the "lowest barrier" is probably not even in OpenBSD's interest here. It's the same with some operating systems not providing graphical installers and whatnot. I could see not using github in a similar light here. If it's a simple bug fix or a one line change, reporting it is sufficient, a dev will fix it. If one's engagement is supposed to go much further, I don't think CVS is such a big hurdle? Or am I misjudging here?
