With all due respect:

I don't actually see a major problem here. Any serious problems with the site can be fixed by people submitting patches, either using Github's UI or to the mailing list if Github's UI doesn't work for them. People can also try mocking up an alternative site if they have a radical change they'd like to try, and the centrally managed DNS entry points to whichever site is appropriate.

The old git website was git.or.cz. That redirects to git-scm.com now. You can see the old front page at git.or.cz/index.html (and there is a link to the corresponding git repository near the bottom). People with spare time who find content on that site to migrate over are welcome to try doing so (hint, hint).

Thanks, Jonathan
