While trying to figure out the process having it on a github org was an
advantage for a number of reasons
for example we started out with a small set of packaging repositories
and added as needed, creating these is a lot quicker on github, adding
stackforge repositories would have been slower, we've also renamed a
couple of repositories and deleted others

In future as things settle down and we get a better view of whats
needed, I'm open to moving to stackforge.
