BTW: although this looks like an opinion poll as the subject is indicating, we 
are doing an opinion statement here, trying to convince others. But usually 
only 3 or 4 statements like ours appear and then it is neither clear if this is 
a majority opinion and the discussion goes into another direction. And the 3 or 
4 statements are lost and no action is taken.

A better opinion poll would  run for let's say 4 weeks, be prominently 
announced (so that it is not embedded in a long discussion) and ask e.g.:

Which source code repository would you like to use for GNUstep:

1. technology
a) svn
b) git
c) mercurial
d) cvs
e) other (please specify)

2. forge
a) savannah
b) gna
c) github
d) gitorius
e) sourceforge
f) other (please specify)

3. bug tracker
a) savannah
b) gna
c) github
d) gitorius
e) sourceforge
f) other (please specify)

This would give a much better picture than if we answer ++ or + or "no, I 
think...".
