The manual is on supelec because that is where the metapost and luatex repositories are, and it is a subversion repo because when the project was first added, the software system on supelec did not understand git. The current version of Forge does support git repos, but I never switched = since (as I wrote above) I have a small personal preference for = subversion. So it would be possible to have a git on supelec; for that = reason there is no need to switch to github. There may be a small advantage to staying with supelec as then the main project URL does not = have to change. OTOH, supelec's email stuff breaks easily and somewhat often.
