That's my thinking. It's more about the workflow than measuring engagement
on GitHub vs. Bitbucket (we already know how that skews). If I had my wish
we would put the same repo in all three scenarios, but that is just asking
for merge headaches.

But I think if we go to the community and say, "help us test dev workflows
by submitting spelling and grammar fixes" then we should quickly get an
idea of the workflows (and I purposefully left devinabox out of a move
since it is never touched after it essentially became a build script and a
README and so represents our existing workflow; any benefit on our own
infrastructure can go straight to cpython anyway which we can all
experience).
