It makes it easier to cherry-pick upstream commits and so on. The 
various git packaging tools let you say "this is the upstream tarball 
that corresponds to release X" and suchlike. It also helps you have a 
coherent history in your repo.

Alioth is free as in free software, github is not. So we should use 
alioth for Debian things (or other free software tools), not github.
