I'm not sure that it will have reached any more people than already
read this list, but I opened an issue on the github.com/wanderlust
organisation regarding this a few weeks ago.

https://github.com/wanderlust/wanderlust/issues/32

dabrahams replied very promptly and I (to my shame) have still not
done likewise.

The proposal I'm making is that github.com/wanderlust become the
"official" repository for Wanderlust. However, I guess it's up to us
to decide what that means. A few things seem important:

 - As dabrahams said, the relevant maintainers should be given
   sufficient access;

 - The official website should point to github.com/wanderlust/;

 - Packages in Linux distribution archives should switch to
   github.com/wanderlust/ as their new upstream source.

What other actions will contribute to the "officialness" of
github.com/wanderlust/?

And who might be able to take responsibility for any of these actions?
