My main motivation for moving to GitHub was that it's a social platform that would get us more exposure. BitBucket doesn't provide the same sort of social concepts as GitHub.

GitLab may be the best choice if we choose to jump ship from GitHub. It has free cloud-hosted and local-hosted options and it still provides a lot of the social look-and-feel.

But for now, I say we wait it out and see what happens. The deal won't even be finalized until the end of the year. It might not be a bad thing after all (I'm trying to stay optimistic.)

Here's a list of all the git-based code hosting offerings I could find. Some are nice. Some are okay.

Edit: added Pagure
