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.
