Now that I've had a chance to actually sit down, with the manual, I'm not
entirely sure I agree that it states the use of USE_GITHUB is to be avoided.
The handbook suggests it as an option when source tarballs are unavailable.
It's softly implied, but it's by no means explicit one way or the other.

For my own interest's sake, on an up to date ports tree:

find /usr/ports -name Makefile | xargs grep MASTER_SITES | grep -i github | wc
-l
     434

vs 

find /usr/ports -name Makefile | xargs grep USE_GITHUB | wc -l
    4528

Rightly or wrongly, ports pulling from GitHub outnumber those using
MASTER_SITES almost 10:1 at this time. I find it hard to believe that most of
those don't have release files available.

In this case, as the source tarball is only hosted on GitHub, I don't see that
it makes a considerable amount of difference changing to straight MASTER_SITES
at this time.
