I think we should focus more on pull requests, not bug reports, and quick
wins, even if temporary.

If pull requests were no longer free on GitHub (which would mean to cut away
the prime feature around which that platform originally revolved), so be it.
We could then still push the code somewhere else and return to another tool
or process. 

The benefit of using GitHub would be to get an improvement in contribution
tracking *now* (or, rather quickly) without the investment of setting up a
custom GitLab and spending the money on additional hosting resources if
necessary, or developing a custom Monticello solution.

Java is very much alive in the enterprise and still looks like it isn't ever
going to go away. Unfortunately, C isn't going away either. ;-)
