Infrastructure Upgrades/Changes: Git(ea)

[André Miranda]

GitHub is awesome, I really enjoy using it, but being proprietary is a 
no-go for a FLOSS project such as Xfce, especially because it has been 
maintained independently for a long time already. I know that hosting 
services is a burden for most projects, but this is not the case for 
Xfce, we have great people handling this (kudos for gaston, knome and 
Skunnyk) and I'm confident that finding a new hosting partner won't be a 
problem.

Cheers,
Andre Miranda
