Ye, I remember a bit of conversation about that a month or two back.

The good thing about a distributed vcs is that you don't have to pick
just one ;-)

repo.or.cz is probably the most technically advanced under the hood,
as Pasky has been one of the 10-20 hardcore git enthusiasts since day 1.

github is nice because it's professionally driven. The free hosting is
used by some pretty large projects, and by quite a few at that (some
12806, according to a roughly week-old post on the git mailing list).
Their maintainers are also very conscientious about staying on top of
the core git development, so you can be fairly sure it's always running
the latest stable.

gforge seems primarly svn/cvs centric.

gitorious hasn't got such a very nice ui imo. Listing projects, and
in single-column at that, indicates to me that they haven't really
planned for growing a lot, so they might run into performance problems
in case that happens.

If I was you, I'd sign up with all the free ones and just try out how
they are regarding performance, userfriendliness and stability. When
you've found one you like, just announce the git:// URL on the nagiosplug
sourceforge page and here on the nagiosplug-devel mailing list.

If none of the free ones work out as you hope I'm sure we could host
it at www.op5.org, although we'll probably be mirroring it there anyway,
so it could make sense to have the master somewhere else.

Trackers and stuff can remain at sourceforge indefinitely, so people
don't have to learn several new tools at once.
