call-cc.org doesn't provide fancy collaborative tools on top of git.
The workflow for merging changes in the repositories hosted there is
based on sending patches to people who have write access to the
repositories.  As far as I can tell, we have no plan to change that in
the foreseeable future.

I have no objections against using other git hosting solutions.  I'd
suggest, though, that we strive to keep things as simple as possible and
don't get locked in by using features that might screw us in the future
if (actually more like a matter of "when") the host goes out of
business, becomes too unstable, changes its services in ways that we
don't like, changes its terms of use to something that would be
unacceptable for such a project or any other reason.  Switching git
hosting solutions should be just a matter of changing the git URL.

All the best.
Mario
