I guess I'm wondering: what are the actual virtues of github (other than 
that some people are already familiar with it) and is there a way to 
build a tool that has those virtues without so much baggage, with a 
lower barrier to entry, and which is more universally usable?

One virtue appears to be encouraging WG participants to submit concrete 
suggestions for changes in the same format as the document is being 
maintained.

Another virtue might be built-in support for issue tracking.

But mostly, to me, github looks like a huge impediment.  And I use git 
with program source code all the time.
