I did the same with postgresqlfr.org domain some years ago. When
PostgreSQLFr non-profit was stable enough, I transfered anything to it.

And that's really better to have such things owned by a group than a
single person, for all the reasons Josh described.

So, thanks a lot to all of you for handling this that way.

Cheers,
