I don't have any objections, but I wonder, is there someway to salvage
the "discover-ability", and/or consistency aspects?

One option would be to make Github The Place.  I'd be cool with that,
but it means the disruption of a move, and doesn't rule out the
possibility that someone won't want to host elsewhere down the road
(say because they want to use mercurial, or svn).

Could we retain the Google Code pages as project hosting somehow,
disabling everything but the Downloads tab and adding prominent links
to Github for issue tracking?  You might even be able to leave the
source tab enabled and keep it updated as a mirror.
