Oh look, a Git vs. Subversion conversation, how did I miss this! :D

Github makes people stupid

I wouldn’t use the word “stupid” but yes, many times too often I hear people saying Subversion doesn’t support pull requests or something like that.

I’m more concerned with authentication though, passing WordPress.org credentials to a third-party service? No thanks. Over HTTP? No thanks. It’d be much better if they created a central WordPress.org user and asked customers to simply grant them write privileges to their .org repos.

In that case when there’s a security breach, the WordPress.org team could easily revoke access from that one user, as well as review latest commits to all repos by that one user for malware and stuff, and not search through a subset of god knows how many users.

Obviously OAuth would be a much better user experience.
