Agree with the last bit, but I really feel that the difference between
postgresql.org and postgresql.net is too subtle--at least for people who
don't work with either very often.

Here's another idea: couldn't we have a subdomain for the projects, as in
"<project>.forge.postgresql.org"? Or would that be too long?
