which is why lloyd is questioning it being cemented in teh charter
It does all sorts of stuff that a generic git server does not do.
yep, a whole gui.
but, we're say we're flying the open source flag, and github is closed
source owned by a well-known monster monopoly known for bending and
breaking standards (i have to bleeping use exchange in $dayjb) and a
paperclip avatar.
People use github because they use the features generic servers don't
have.
there are open source alternatives, e.g. gogs.

I don't see how it is
useful to conflate the two.

PS: I run a
generic git server on my own system so I speak from
experience here.

This is, I think, depending on how you look at
it, either an attempt to focus the group or a category error, rather
akin to the charters for the DTN groups deciding from the outset that
bundling was all that DTN was, and now github is all that git is.
Further
category error examples welcomed...

really
looking forward to Clippy for GitHub and the Office Git assistant,
changing how reviewing is done.
