I'm not having any issues with a github repository link for the Theme URI, especially with the noted benefits @Frumph and @zamoose have mentioned.<br>I also agree it is a great way to have multiple authors contributing to a central Theme location until dot-org finds a way to offer the same functionality a la plugin contributors.<br>

Frumph:<br>
github and bitbucket will automatically parse any READMEs in the root<br>
of a repo and paste them to the front page as the intro, so that's an<br>
easy way for devs to avoid having to write the same documentation yet<br>
again.<br>
