Being `popular' is not sufficient to convince me... I don't like
github's idea of cloning everything. I don't like its bug tracker
interface either, which makes it unnecessarily complicated to provide
non-image, binary data. So I won't move FreeType's code repository
and bug tracker to github.
Regarding the freetype.org documentation stuff, I don't have the time
(and admittedly the interest) to do a move. Nikolaus, do you
volunteer to set up everything? If yes, could you give an outline of
the necessary steps?
