My concern wasn't for the technical resources, but rather the tendency
of projects on Github to fragment their source trees into multiple,
mutually non-interoperable code bases as developers scratch their own
itches without bothering to re-integrate into the trunk.  Users wind up
seeing 10 active branches, none of which seems to be "official", each of
which has some enhancements added or missing.  As I said, a
project-management, rather than a technical issue.  It just seems to be
something I see more on Github projects than on Launchpad or
SourceForge, where a driver/trunk is nominated.

I'd expect that making the asterisk-org branch a de facto official
release branch (since AFAIK the Digium guys are the most active
developers at the moment) would be the most appropriate strategy to
avoid fragmentation.

Just my $0.02,
Mike
