Github is really good at lowering the barrier to participation. I’ve noticed how many of the Perl modules from CPAN have moved their development there. Here is a comment from David Golden, one of the core Perl devs: http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/361/convert-to-git-and-get-more-patches/

Its issue tracker may not be as good as Trac or Bugzilla, especially for big projects with hundreds of open issues, but for collaboration over code it’s the best tool out there right now.
