Um why does it rule out blind developers. I as one 100% blind user with Jaws
felt that I would hate github but when I started using it I found that it was
extremely accessible. What seems to be the problem with it?

It might be efficient for sighted developers, but if it rules out blind
developers or contributors then I think this is not really a tenable position,
especially considering the nature of the project.

$ git branch -r
will show remote branches, and is accessible. this is not hidden.
There are some good online git resources if you need to be more comfortable
with the git command line client.

It was our first release as the new team, and things can always be improved.
These are teething problems while we settle with git and our new
responsibilities.

Idealy yes, but remember that the screenreader user has very little power in
getting github to make their product more accessible.
So we should not add additional burden for those that are screen reader users,
especially since this doesn't give us any real benefits.
