I also use my private repositories (simply setup using gitolite), but I simply also push to GitHub for the added discoverability. I tend not to like GitHub however. The wiki/issue tracker actually require you to be online, which is the best thing about git: being able to work without network connection. I'd like to find some project that syncs github issues with sd (http://syncwith.us/sd/ http://syncwith.us/sd/) or bugseverywhere (http://www.bugseverywhere.org/ http://www.bugseverywhere.org/), so that I could actually work on the issues without being online (the bigger pain point are attachments which need to be downloaded). Another thing which I consider inferior to patches by mail are pull requests. Honestly, it's very rare that I can accept a patch without some reformatting or minor corrections. I also never ask people to do such minor reformatting just to be able to click 'accept'. Again, pull requests cannot be worked-on or accepted offline. Similarly, my patches sent to other projects are similarly handled by other authors.
