There may be a slight difference between GitHub, hosting opens source 
projects for free and, BTW, proprietary ones for money, and Transifex, 
where you can find the free hosting of open source in the small print, 
if you look long enough.

I used to maintain the Hungarian translation for a while, during the 
transition to Transifex and, honestly, I could not really grasp, what 
was so difficult with the gettext workflow.

- git pull
- do some gettext magic
- edit hu.po with VIM
- make and test
- git commit
- git push

Transifex' statistics are very nice, but editing stuff in a browser, and 
managing access rights of volunteers was just an added pain in the 
backside. So I passed it on to named volunteers. I think.

But I may be wrong and stuck in the stone age. If it attracted more 
translators, Transifex was probably the right thing to do.
