Sorry, I should clarify.  I don't have any objection to putting it on
the dt.org github page and advertising that.  I just don't want that
to become the only / primary site for the repository.

One reason is that I don't think we should remove / change an existing
widely advertised repo unless there's a rather more compelling reason
to.  Another is that I'd prefer not to rely on a commercial supplier
whose interests may not match ours, particularly not when we already
have other hosting set up.
