It was _my_ pull request, and as I noted in my final comment, I agreed with closing it. That is not "rejected", but "withdrawn". If somebody wants to open their own pull request, they can. But it has been over 2 years, and I haven't seen anybody talk about this, let alone offer to work on it. If people don't like git-scm.com and want to have an alternate site, especially one targeted at Git _developers_, I don't see a reason not to. http://git.github.io is where I have been collecting GSoC materials, and any community member who asks is welcome to have push access (and I have offered to apply patches for people who do not want to use GitHub). But aside from that GSoC content, there is nothing there (and the design is awful; any takers?). There is also the wiki at http://git.wiki.kernel.org. I prefer the git.github.io site, because it is easier to manipulate using git, but if having both is fracturing things, I'd be happy to shut it down. So if anyone wants to contribute to Git's web presence, it seems there are quite a few opportunities to do so. -Peff
