Doesn't sound like there are any major objections at this point, so let's
move forward with this.  James, do you have everything you need to
be able to publish this on the official github project?

I would really like to be able to announce that we have an official github mirror next week and tell people to start using it. That will also make sure we can reference it in the release announcement, etc.
