GitHub implements the PSHB subscription API. It's fine, but doesn't really fit in well with the rest of our JSON API. For instance, parameters are sent over as form encoded values like "hub.mode".

We also have a regular JSON endpoint for our hooks resource (which is essentially a subscription API).

Let's make it better :) The PubSubHubbub mailing list is still open and would welcome your comments on how to make things better!
