Issues with hosting space seems like the only reason to not do so, but
if funds can be found to provide such, it seems like a great way to
build community and attract developers. Asking for space (or money to
provide it) may also be a great way to get funding, with easily
observable results. Perhaps Google, Red Hat or Canonical would be
interested in funding?
