Piet Delport is very interested in setting up a SVN repository with Trac and
the whole works.  He is just as frustrated by all these project-specific
Pyrex builds as everyone else and wants to see a viable community project
form that can pool all these efforts in a mutually beneficial way.

Piet, however, is not the maintainer of Pyrex.  He has no authority or
control over the source or releases, nor has he ever talked to the
maintainer.  He provides patches and does a wonderful job at helping people
at IRC - we owe him a lot of gratitude - but he has no pull.

The maintainer is a man named Greg Ewing, Pyrex is hosted on his personal
website, you can find his contact info there.  The Cython guys have already
tried to work with him, as have other groups, this is why there have been so
many project-specific branches.

Honestly, learning from our mistake of getting involved with Soya3d and
trying to turn it into a community project, I think it'd be easier and time
efficient to do our own thing, collaborating with Cython where it makes
sense to, than working with Greg.

Especially with so much energy being devoted to the copyleft games group
