The pattern of "Oh, sure, we're associated with that project" is a very dark one. "Contribute to something on GitHub off of GitHub" has been used by a number of hard-to-verify bitcoin tip sites, recruiter schemes, and shadier characters. I hope featurehub goes opt-in very soon so it can avoid a noisy argument like this one that made it to HN last October:

Oh, I hadn't seen this. That's very interesting, thanks for the pointer. I'll fix this ASAP.

That's a better, faster response than I have ever seen to this topic. I wish HN let me post a happy animated GIF to celebrate your choice!

I'm glad that it DOES NOT support gifs.

Done! Now you have to own a project on GitHub to be able to add it on FeatHub :)
