no, github is not documented, for the same reason that pagure
was not; because they were not intended for general use, and i
am the only one who watches either - i would disable issues and
pull-requests on both forges, if i decide not to watch them,
and no one else wants to do it

im pretty confused by that statement - how is GNU or savannah
special in that regard, from any other projects or forges? - does
GNU or savannah have the reputation of hosting predominantly
"dead" projects? - i do not suppose that - if an "otherwise
active project" were hosted on github, should their documentation
say:

> The code is hosted on github.com.

conversely, would people who see: "The code is on github.com"
generally assume that the project is active (and would that
assumption be correct usually)? - i think not - it is not good
reasoning
