Why?
What treffer said. It'll be like the old days of sourceforge, just better and simpler. I love how easy it is to commit to projects on github. Also love the idea of a centralized place to follow all your favorite projects. If linux can be on github i would think php could as well.
[1] Unless you count mirrors, in which case both Linux and PHP are on github.

because github is one of the most visible and most visited source hosting sites?
I still don't get your point. It's the most visited source hosting site, no doubt about that, so...? On the subject of the topic, I'm getting tired of this git euforia. The linked message says zero about the reason beyond a simple direct voting. So, for no reason they decided to have a voting and ignore the reasons why people vote whatever they did? Sounds like a pretty useless voting for me. Well, except if you want…

Rasmus gave a talk yesterday and I asked if they were switching to github. He said they'd likely switch to git (it's now happening, apparently), but not github because it can't do ACLs and the PHP project has thousands of people who need commit access to various places.
This was all early-2009, though. I wonder if git's increasing popularity has swayed the core PHP developers?

PHP has been mirrored on github for awhile already if you want to follow it and stuff: https://github.com/php I don't see what difference having a git.php.net repo vs a github one will make. It's the same vcs...

to be fair the reason is outlined in the post. "... move to a decentralized version control system."

And plain Git can do ACLs? I didn't know that.
