[PySide] Move PySide development to github?

Hi,

Just note that moving from Qt's Gerrit to Github means moving away from the
Qt Project: if the contributors don't go through the license agreement
click-through at Gerrit, code pushed to Github cannot later on be merged
back to Github.

Having said that, I agree that Github works well and is used very widely in
the community, and since Digia seems to have no interest in supporting
PySide, the move probably would have a net positive effect for PySide
development. Just wanted to make sure you're making a conscious decision
about this. :-)

Cheers,

ma.
