Although I've hated git for a long while (and I still don't like it very much), I firmly believe Github is the right thing for Twisted. My incredibly unscientific poll amongst people who like Twisted but aren't devs is that they all love or at least like Github, and a surprising number has a distaste for Launchpad (unfamiliarity with Bazaar, perceived developer-unfriendly UI, slowness).
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "aren't devs". Do you mean "aren't Twisted developers"? I don't see why someone who isn't a developer would particularly care what development tools Twisted uses.
Unless someone is going to go all "NO GITHUB IS TERRIBLE AND YOU ARE A BAD PERSON FOR EVEN SUGGESTING IT" on me, maybe we can talk about planning the transition? :)
My personal preference would definitely be Launchpad+bzr > Bitbucket+hg > Github+git. There are also a fair number of Twisted-related projects already on Launchpad. On the other hand, I'm not sure this is a constructive way to approach this issue. -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar
