I cannot tell you anything about the other sites you mention. But I
know that the community is at github at the moment. Many examples
exist. See the graph Tony posted. I experienced it myself as well. Or
see the "Our choice of using GitHub" section on this blogpost of
Microsoft http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2014/11/12/net-core-is-open-source.aspx

I am sure the community will build around mintty, once people start to
noticed the move. And for that ask Andy to put a link to the new repo
on the Google Code page.
