Hosting the kernel git repositories has many more implications than simply managing a raw number of contributors. The kernel repostiory and source is much, much larger than Ruby on Rails.

in which sense? I have yet to see an argument why it would be more of a "test of GH's infrastructure" than RoR.

The kernel source has about 10 times more files. The total filesize is about 10 times larger as well.

  linux-3.1-rc3$ ls -R -l |wc -l
  46855
  linux-3.1-rc3$ du -h -s
  500M

  rails$ ls -R -l |wc -l
  4141
  rails$ du -h -s
  59M	.
