Subject: [LightDM] Proposal: Move LightDM code hosting from Launchpad to GitHub

Hi all,

I'm considering moving the LightDM code hosting from Launchpad to GitHub and am interested in feedback.

Reasons for moving:
- Many Canonical projects are now hosted on GitHub (e.g. snappy, lxd)
- GitHub is pretty popular, so should hopefully make contributions easier.
- The value of using the Launchpad bug tracker to link upstream and Ubuntu bugs is reduced, now 17.10 used GDM by default (for Ubuntu desktop, other flavours continue to use LightDM).
- Easier to integrate tools with GitHub, e.g. continuous integration, static analysis.

I don't plan on migrating the current bugs in Launchpad, but instead let them rebuild in GitHub.

Like/dislike/don't care/questions?
