Hi Lionel,

Yes, we are all one big happy family ;-) But I want to be able to
subscribe to topics that interest me and software that I deploy, so that
I can review and maintain the bug tracker and take advantage of the
knowledge sharing on those particular topics. Typically, that is the
case for many of us and that is what I meant by 'many projects have
their own small communities'. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we
would lose that if we were to merge everything into one big project on
GitHub.

Maybe the wizards can clarify if this system can be used to make all the
projects available in one big swoop, without the maintenance depending
on it.

Cheers,
Stefan.
