A NAT rule takes 10 seconds to set up for any network administrator, and 
it just works. Moreover, for those who definitely do not like NAT, there 
are plenty of 44.x.y.z AMPR IPv4 adresses available to the HAM community.

I'm working in IT services for small businesses. I do not use IPv6 at 
all. I absolutely do not need it, and most of our ISPs here do not 
provide IPv6 connectivity. Moreover, setting up an IPv6 network, and a 
dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 network, creates far more problems than it solves. 
For example, I spent dozens of hours last month to track a bug in my 
firewall's provider firmware, where IPv6 rules conflicted with IPv4 ones.

IMHO, IPv6 is absolutely not a feature I would request and/or enjoy, at 
least for the next 10 years !

But, as Richard said, having all the code in a common GitHub repo, also 
with the Wiki, and an issue tracking system, would be a great feature 
for me !

Even if I'm just starting my app_rpt experience, and even if I have 
absolutely no skills in C programming, I'll need, sooner or later, to 
tune some things in the code. Having a common, centralized and 
documented way to do that would be, IMHO, a better usage of our free 
time. Git, and GitHub, are the perfect tools for that.
