I can see us putting more content there, but infrastructure-wise probably
not as much as openmp.org. We don't need -commits, -dev, and -bugs mailing
lists, because the CUDA support will soon be integrated to Clang instead of
being a subproject. Our runtime if open-sourced will be a separate LLVM
subproject, which then will need a separate folder or sub-domain.

Thanks. I'll consider that.
