Given that we want to make it possible to move away from Github
without too much fuzz, wouldn't it be better to have the
PR discussions on b.p.o and Rietvield ?

If we start using Github for this, we'd lose that part of the
review history when moving away.

Moving from the SF issue tracker to b.p.o was a major piece of work
(mostly done by Martin von Löwis IIRC) and it's not clear how we
could retrofit those discussions into the b.p.o issue discussions.

Perhaps we could gateway the emails that Github sends for PR
discussions back into b.p.o in some way (the emails contain the
PR number, repo name and Github account name of the sender
in the headers).
