There might be trade offs between simplicity, features and maintenance 
effort.
I am not up to date on the configurations of the repositories and their 
options.
It could be convenient to have the ability to use the gerrit testing 
system on private branches,
but on the other hand setting up a gerrit branch and especially pushing 
up a draft
and triggering the build is non-trivial.
github might be the simplest option, but it would be good to concentrate 
the different
gromacs "side"-projects in one place to create more of a community. The 
question
is how much setup and maintenance effort this takes, as we are 
chronically short of
project management man power.
