That's your privilege. Personally, I filter committers into two buckets:
pgsql and everything else. The everything else folder often only gets
looked at once a week or so. But I do find it useful to see what's going
on elsewhere.
The reason I moved the buildfarm client code to github is that pgfoundry
doesn't support git, and I like github's web interface much more than
the generic one we're using on git.postgresql.org. The buildfarm server
code has never been on pgfoundry, but when I published it recently I
again chose github, for the same reasons.

I'm not sure where the original design bit comes in. I was involved
heavily in setting up pgfoundry (not sure if that's a claim to fame or
infamy, but my excuse is that Josh shanghaied me) and this has been part
of its behaviour from the start, IIRC.
Certainly I can set up a mailing list on pgfoundry and send commit
messages there. I was simply trying to fit in with existing practice.
