Regarding recreating forks, I suspect INFRA will just rename the
apache/incubator-daffodil and site repo's to not include "incubator".
When this happens, github should automatically create redirects form the
old to new, so either can be used. So everything should "just work"
without changes. Our forks should still work.

Though, it would probably be a good idea to rename our forks to match
(in fact, we can name our forks whatever we want in the fork repo
settings) and update git remote urls. So you don't have to refork or
anything.

I think some of the changes in the removing "incubator" PR's depend on
having the new repo names, so I'll hold off on merging those until the
repo's are renamed.
