If the goal is to have better online collaboration for this
linuxcnc-related project, I think at least some conderation should be
given to using github rather than hosting on git.linuxcnc.org.

I feel like github would give better visibility (as you mention,
wizards.git is an almost-forgotten thing), and can pretty much be
administered self-service by whoever is the head of that project.
And for better or for worse, github has a lot of currency among software
developers these days.

(personally, I like github's issue tracker over SF's and their pull
request interface works OK even for those who like me prefer to complete
a pull request via the commandline with 'git merge'.  some projects will
also find the wiki feature useful)

Being in linuxcnc.git might be the worst possible choice for a new and
fast-moving project, because of the main project's slow release pace.
If this project went into master branch tomorrow, there's no way it
would be in a released version in less than a year.  There is probably
little reason to tie the release cycles of these two pieces of software
together.
