We're not going to add features just because [Enter code host here] has them, but if there's stuff preventing you from using GitHub, please let us know.

  I wasn't criticizing Github, just using it for illustration. They're apples and oranges. I use Github extensively, for things that are totally unsuited for Launchpad. But since you asked, I do have some next step ideas for Github. When a project has a lot of forks, there's no quick way to know, especially as a user of that project, what the differences are between all the forks: which is canonical, which is most mature, etc. Also, development tends to fragment because there isn't much of a social link between forks, besides the network graph. I'd like to see each project family have a single community hub with features similar to individual projects: wiki, bug tracker, etc. This would be used both to support users and coordinate developers. To keep it user friendly, put the wiki in front. Bonus if you can detect duplicate projects imported from other hosts and keep them in the same community.
