I'm very happy to discuss governance on this! To be clear: this is not
funded work but weekend hacking and I put in OKFN as copyright holder
and domain owner more by default than by consideration. It buys us
nothing to try to own it. If there is some entity that should run this
I'd love to move it over, but I think from a neutrality and community
POV OKF is not a bad place.
