The community, on Mediawiki's side, seem to mostly favor GitHub. I guess I shouldn't leave this thread hanging. As contrib/README says, the "owners" of an area in contrib/ has the ultimate say and control over the area, and for contrib/mw-to-git, the "owners" have always been Matthieu, at least to me. As he made it clear earlier in this thread that (1) he sees you as a steady hand that can help guide the tool forward as its new "owner", and (2) he thinks Git-Mediawiki will be helped by being an independent project hosted at GitHub, now you have the say ;-) A few topics from you that are already on list may want to go through to 'master' as any other topics, but from there on, I am fine with the development of Git-Mediawiki primarily done as a separate project, optionally giving contrib/mw-to-git/ occasional update dumps. You could even choose to remove contrib/mw-to-git/* except for git-remote-mediawiki.txt that says that the tool's main development effort happens at GitHub to redirect people, if you think that would reduce potential confusion. I am also OK to serve as a patch monkey and keep going; I won't be picking up patches to contrib/mw-to-git/ unless you (and others) review them, though.
