I'd also to clearify that this is *not* the sysadmin team. The
sysadmin team are not maintaining pgfoundry, and are not involved.

pgfoundry has a separate admin team, who hangs out at
gforge-admins(at)pgfoundry(dot)org(dot) This is a completely different team.

Had it been under the actual sysadmin team, this would've happened
many years ago.

Dave has been working on a plan, and options and things like that.
He'll be posting details soon.
