As long as the link says "Git source repository" without "the official", Scott is doing the right thing. It is just one of the copies that I push into, so it may be considered more official than a fork of my history by a random unknown person. As Git is distributed, we do not need a single "official" repository. If you really want to name one, my private working repository at my home machine would be what is closest to one, as patches and pull requests are processed there and then the result is pushed out to the above four and a few others. But that "official" one is not exposed to the outside world ;-)
