[LightDM] Proposal: Move LightDM code hosting from Launchpad to GitHub

Hi all,

I'm considering moving the LightDM code hosting from Launchpad to GitHub
and am interested in feedback.

Reasons for moving:
- Many Canonical projects are now hosted on GitHub (e.g. snappy, lxd)
- GitHub is pretty popular, so should hopefully make contributions easier.
- The value of using the Launchpad bug tracker to link upstream and Ubuntu
bugs is reduced, now 17.10 used GDM by default (for Ubuntu desktop, other
flavours continue to use LightDM).
- Easier to integrate tools with GitHub, e.g. continuous integration,
static analysis.

I don't plan on migrating the current bugs in Launchpad, but instead let
them rebuild in GitHub.

Like/dislike/don't care/questions?
