I've been finding myself saying the phrase "I wish they'd move this project away from google code and onto github" quite frequently lately.

Funny, I usually find myself saying "I wish they'd move this project away from github, provide a proper API-stable versioned release, properly document the project and APIs, and otherwise behave like a well-maintained open source project" a lot lately. =)

If they did all that, then I wouldn't need to fork the project, maintain any local patches/modifications, etc.

Good points.

You're right that many github-hosted projects suffer from overly-brief documentation. Perhaps Github attracts a certain type of project maintainer at the moment..
