No, it's not a bulletin board, but that's not the only way to foster
discussion. GitHub provides issues, wikis, file/line/commit comments. Those
sound like good ways to have discussion.

There are many reasons to use GitHub. Some people do it because it takes
less effort than setting up your own git server. Some people do it for the
visibility. Some people do it because, let's be honest, it's de rigueur.

Some people use GitHub for the social/discussion aspects. Some people use
it almost entirely for these aspects. If GitHub can be (and is) used for
code reviews, it can definitely be used for a code reading study group.
