@Peter github makes collaboration quite painless. Users can manage their own accounts.
I like git because of its features. And when I don't need those features, I prefer svn because of its simplicity. Where is the pain?
The last time I tried, merging multiple version in svn is a huge pain. One of the advantages of DVCS is that branching and merging are easy.
What would be the benefit when moving to github?
Github seems to be the most popular DVCS hosting site at the moment. For manuals, I think that Github is particularly useful because you can click on edit and make the change. Github automatically creates a fork, a new branch, and pull request for you. So the technical barrier to participation is low.

(On the other hand, if you sent me some bitcoins, I would be glad to copy contextman to github. ;)
