Github is ok with me. Since it supports SVN we don't even need to use git :)

Going back to red-bean is not an option?
I suspect you simply don't want to deal with the admin side of things?

We could ask assembla for free hosting of the svn repository and issue tracking.
They might be happy to host us.

I could host the book's SVN repository at in-berlin.de (a non-profit ISP
based in Berlin), on the same server as svn.dslinux.org.
SSH access for committers is possible.
I'm already hosting a backup build of the book there: http://stsp.name/svnbook/
For issues, we'd need something else, though.
