I asked INFRA because I saw that the basic tooling doesn't support it. If it's not something easy for them I suggest we should not bother with this, just put it on github/OpenDFDL with ASL license as now.

Is it possible that the github mirror the .git extension is removed? For example, our daffodil repo isn't daffodil.git. We don't really care what the gitbox repo name is. I'd also like to give a chance for others to provide input before we bother infra with this in case a better name is determined, or if there's a valid objection.
