Interesting.
Some of these Debian patches in the set definitely do need to be applied; I'll see if I can get some of these in today.
On the larger question of moving to something like Github, I think the question more comes down to the various tool sets on each site. SF has the dev mailing list and is the site home page... If we just wanted git itself, I believe there's a git module for SF which allows us to use that for submissions (much like the original flip from CVS to SVN).
The SF re-packaging controversy wasn't really relevant to us, so IMO, moving to Github would be more because it's a popular place to be hosting code at than too much else.
Henrik has the final call regardless :)

seems to be the wrong link, the debian patches are here:
<http://mirror.unitedcolo.de/debian/pool/main/x/xymon/xymon_4.3.21-1.debian.tar.xz>
nevertheless: a migration to github/bitbucket/gitlab or similar would also ease contributions a lot as you don't need to send patches but can easily fork and create create pull requests.
but that must be left to the decission of the maintainers as it touches their workflow (which is greatly appreciated!).

the current debian source packet
http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xymon/xymon_4.3.21.orig.tar.gz
contains a subfolder "patches"
I was referring to ârrd_net_granularity", which should useful for all targets But other patches like "fix-spelling-errors" should be considerable as well
