On the one hand, it could be nice to have it all in a repository or two.
On the other hand, a repo history is normally immutable (with force pushes on rare occasions), and comment spam is way to common. Do you really a repo with all the usual link spam in its commit history? In case of public hosting it may trigger some spam filtering automation and block the repo/account. While perfectly possible, I'm not sure a DVCS repository is a well-matching concept for storage here.
