Apologies that it took so long for me to get to this.  You should have
gotten an invite to the FluidSynth github organization.  I'll send you the
export from SourceForge in another email, but I think it only contains
admin, ticket, and wiki data.  The source code can I'm sure just be cloned
from the existing SourceForge repo, without any special export procedure
though.

Let me know if there is anything else you need.  I'm not sure how we want
to go about inviting other competent contributors to the organization.
I've been pretty out of touch, so I have no idea who has been contributing
(or trying to contribute), so input would be appreciated on how to go about
this.

Cheers!
