Well, in my opinion the whole topic of git transition is over-discussed.
Looks the same for me, and I didn't see much new POV or useful infos since a bunch of emails.
The reason why I haven't been very active on Geany's mailing list are exactly these endless discussions which lead nowhere. To your steps:
1 and 2: GitHub or Gitorious are the only options if you want personal repositories (which is the main reason I want the git switch). It's not a crucial decision at all which one you chose - if you pick GitHub and realize it stinks, you can always move the repository to Gitorious. The only problem is that contributors would have to move their personal clones too, but it's not a big deal.
I'd like to at least have a synchronized version on git.geany.org. Even if it wouldn't have that personal clones, it could be the main clone source or at least a backup mirror.

In my opinion, there are only 3 questions to discuss and all of them have answers by now:
- Switch to DVCS from svn? (There have been many emails written about
advantages of DVCS over svn on this mailing list and it seems most people wish the switch)
I would appreciate the switch, but since I actually use git-svn, that would not change so much for me. So yes, it'd be good IMHO, but no, it's not an absolute need.
- Use git, hg, or something else? (git is used by majority of
open-source projects and nobody here is really familiar with anything else, so the answer seems to be clear too)
Yes PLEASE. Git. OK, I don't really know Mercurial or Bazaar, but I also never seen any reason why I would like to use it over Git, which I know pretty well.
- Which website to use for the repository? (I suggest GitHub for now,
and if it doesn't work well, it's no problem to change it for something else later)
I personally don't really care but take into account that maybe we don't want to move the bugs (already mentioned in a previous thread...) for now.
Also I'm not sure I like such web sites (I'm not a web-interface fan), but I can adapt myself and may even like it.
