'Warthog9' about git.kernel.org, and appropriate admins for GitHub and Gitorious. Last year Sourceforge didn't have, I think, support for git; do you know who to contact about putting announcement there? I tried also to contact Assembla and Unfuddle, without success. I can try again to contact LWN.net; what other places we can put announcement? --=20 Jakub Narebski Poland
