Ok. :)

Sounds reasonable from a social PoV, though I admit I am unaware of the
technical consequences of that.  Though they are presumably minor?

Feel free to use a branch on github or create a user-specific repo on
alioth.  Either way will be fine with me. :)

Sounds good. :)  Once again, thanks for working on this. :)
