True. I do that for my packages on erratique.ch using github only as a mirror.
But while I strive to make my development workflow as independent as possible from github, there's something hosting your own git repository won't solve which is the collaboration aspects that github solves pretty well without too much bureaucracy, across projects, using a good balance of email/web interface. The issue tracker is actually the only one I have ever used that is decent and watching/unwatching projects is a breeze -- it's not magic, but it's very useful. I would welcome a distributed solution to these problems but for the time being it doesn't exist.
As for github's fork/pull request model, it seems completely broken to me but suffixing the url of a pull request with `.patch` gives you a file that you can apply with `git am`, so I now let people interact with me that way if it's easier for them.

Same here.
