Okay, let's try:

Pros:

- simplicity and stays mostly out of the way. Managing something through
Launchpad is all but simple. You have to type a lot amount of
informations in order to have something "clean".
- following/followers/network graph/feeds. Github does all of this
pretty easily. Sounds like social networking oriented tool rather than
project/team.
- easy to branch on someone repository and play with the code.
- no need to setup a project to get started, just instruct your git
repositories to go onto github
- no distinction between "+junk" and "normal" project
- web hosting: the project webpage is in the repository
- "sexy" (your tastes may vary :D)

Cons:

- not free software
- ?

So, it sounds like social network for programmers. Another service I
like is repo.or.cz: really simple, no social network aspects, easy
branching.

I guess my ideal tool is rather closer to repo.or.cz than github and I
am pretty sure a tool like loggerhead could be transformed to something
like that (with some efforts).

I hope you see what I need ;)
