Git/Github integration for mod portal

[mkaito]

I know there's a mod portal rework somewhere in the near future, so I thought I'd bring this up.

I think the mod portal could use some integration with git and/or github. Wube uses Heroku, so they must know how cool the concept of "push to deploy" is. Furthermore, something like automatically grabbing tags/releases from github would be quite neat, since there's apparently a whole lot of people who don't realize that git and github are separate things.

At the very least, a HTTP interface where a developer could push a zip file without using the web interface (say, from a makefile) would be very convenient.

In general, I think we, as a community, should encourage the usage of organized mod development with tools such as git(hub).

Well, we at least have a start.
The "Source" link lets you link to Github.

That said, more integration and automation for such would be great.
