That's the alternative. Opening a new channel for that event may be
prudent, or the noise from the usual 100+ people in #haiku may be
distracting.

I see how that's effective for your low-level work, but I'd say for
userland stuff nothing beats coding directly in Haiku.

Not really. Everyone would need to set up some github thingy and post
links etc. around. Sharing in BeShare is much simpler.

While a vector icon would be nice, it isn't a show stopper. BeShare
works on Haiku, that's what counts. And it has been updated 03/23/2012.

Just like we don't need to provide an IRC server, we don't need our own
Muscle server to use a service. beshare.TyComSystems.com has been there
for a long time and even if it should close one day, finding a
replacement should be quite easy.
I see the issue in your third point, but that wouldn't be an issue for
using BeShare for Bug Fix Weekends.
Anyway, the use of BeShare was just an idea. Further discussion on
BeShare should be taken to the general Haiku mailing list to keep down
the noise on this list.
