github is certainly interesting, but as it's not Free software, we're
looking into alternatives that provide similar functionality. Gitorious is
interesting in that regard. Surely, those tools (and a hopefully more
streamlined review process that becomes possible strongly speak for using
it.

Yes, I also put the link to github on the dot and someone already made me realize that github is not opensource.
Gitorious seems to be similar in philosophy and I am sure that can be improved to make it a good tool for KDE.
It will be a lot of work to change to the new model (integrate to bug reporting system,etc) but I absolutely support you on this move.
