Directing someone to a proprietary/non-open service seems like a far
worse impression to me.

We did look into a mechanism to auto-render README pages on the fly
in cgit, but any reasonably trivial implementation with its filter
mechanism made it hard to get to the non-rendered version of the
document. Ultimately we determined that putting work into making it
easier to render and publish documentation was a far better use of
our time than trying to turn a code browser into a documentation
viewer.

So if the question is whether to point people at git.openstack.org
or github.com as a homepage for a project, my recommendation is:
neither. Link them to your published documentation (and make sure it
includes information on where to browse and clone your source
code!).
