I am back from my vacation so I have time again.  I figured since I
was leaving and people were making fantastic progress on pull requests
and tickets that it was best to wait.  But I'm available now to help
with the release.

No strong opinions here.  It probably makes sense to move as much
stuff to github as possible now that the issue tracker has been moved,
but the sf download stuff is pretty good now and I haven't
investigated whether github offers equivalents.  Also, our donations
are processed through sf and they are non-negligible.  I found this
old post on github about accepting donations
https://github.com/blog/57-getting-paid-the-open-source-way; not sure
if this is still current.

I would say yes here -- we can leave the branch around for a while in
case there is a reason to cut a release from it, but I don't think it
makes sense to do a release of the branch otherwise.
