There is also a forge for OCaml projects:
http://forge.ocamlcore.org

This is of course less bells and whistles than github UI but it already
hosts the git repository of lablgtk for example (lablgtk being a deps of
unison).

If you want to have at the same time github and the forge, you can do
like batteries (http://batteries.forge.ocamlcore.org) for which SCM and
bugs are on github and the rest (mailing list, releases and news) on the
OCaml Forge.
