In my experience this leads to a raft of badly formed pull requests that I cannot triage while offline (see Linus's rant about no diffs) and that I have to pull up a bloated web app over https over a modem to look at; as well as random forks, none of which are communicated to me, and within some of which there might be value, but hunting it out is unlikely to be a good use of my time; as well as a crappy BTS (that can at least be disabled). This is occasionally worth the exposure of some software I am developing, but it would certianly not be worth it for debhelper. -- see shy jo
