Dear Stefano and everybody, Thanks to the help of the GitHub admins, I now own the "Debian" organization account on GitHub, and placed a README with a disclaimer. https://github.com/Debian I have not added links to their competitors, as I think that it would be bad taste, but yes, I invite every developer to consider Free alternatives such as Gitorious or Branchable. This account will only be used to mirror Debian source package that are maintained in a Git repository, and for which the upstream sources are developed on GitHub. The README being itself a Git repository, I can only say... patches welcome !
