First of all, this is a great idea !
We've been hosting the French-related advocacy files at github for a while. It's a decent way to share things.
However space is an issue because even though Github does not have a strict limit for the max repo size, they do warn people to avoid repo larger than 1GB and files larger than 100MB. With a lot of bitmap files (think Photoshop or Gimp) it may become a problem.
Repo size at github is not likely to be a problem for us, we have an exception already.
