The project looks great, but it's ironic that it uses github.com to host itself [1].

The only message "not eating your own dog food" sends is this: "we're not doing it for ourselves, we're doing it for those who might find it interesting", which in turn sends a strong warning about the lifespan of the project.

It's possible the project doesn't (currently) have all the features they like when hosting on Github. Nothing says the project won't be moved in the future.

They could at list mirror it.

Github is an established brand in the industry. Presence on it is likely to get any project more exposure.

Github is still a great place to 1) get your project noticed 2) attract contributors and 3) manage issues/pull requests with little overhead.

If they self hosted this project, it would add unnecessary overhead to anyone who wanted to help out.
