How about github issues? Is there a way to export that info?

I'm not against github (in fact i like it very much) but issues does seem to impose a little lockin.

The GitHub API is extremely robust. You can export issues, including comments etc. to JSON with a script that will take you maybe 10 minutes to write, max.
There should be (or is there already?) a script that automatically downloads an issue and its conversation in text or JSON format and commits it so the data/archive is in the git repo.
