Move part of macports infrastructure to GitHub

[Ivan Larionov]

I want to start this discussion mainly about ports tree, but actually base and some other stuff could use github and infra around it as well. I understand this is not so easy and may be you already discussed it and may be already decided not to do, but there are huge pros:

* git >> svn
* pull requests are awesome! No need to poke around with patch files attached to tickets
* nice UI, tools and infra around

which will result in more pros:

* people will look at macports more positively
* and will contribute more!

Actually I see lot of people keeping their local ports at github: https://github.com/search?q=macports&type=Repositories&ref=searchresults

What do you think?
