I agree with both decisions also.  With one caveat: would we lose the  
ability to send out e-mail notification messages of commits?  I tend  
to think the answer is yet, at least respect to git hooks.  But I know  
that github also has some kind of notification API that can probably  
be leveraged to do this.

Or is the idea to still push to git.horde.org, and simply do  
everything else on github?  It actually would be nice to directly use  
github, because then we could use things like committing code directly  
from pull requests.
