I'm already using git.kernel.org for my master XFS trees. The ones
on oss.sgi.com are simply now downstream mirrors. There's still a
few things I need to organise (e.g. where release tarballs are put)
before we make the kernel.org trees the official source of XFS
source code.

We already have a linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org mailing list - we just
don't use it. Again, more organisation stuff to do to switch over
(i.e. forwarding from xfs@oss.sgi.com to the vger list) and then
updating documentation everywhere and getting people to start using
it.

Cheers,

Dave.
