GNU Aspell is Alive.

Before GNU Aspell was split between Savannah and and SourceForge, now GNU 
Aspell is split between Savannah and GitHub.  Basically I will use GitHub to 
track issues instead of SourceForge.

The old CVS repo is a mess and did not convert well to Git so I did a minimal 
conversion that did not attempt to import most of the history from CVS.  As it 
stands now the Git repo is an a state of flux.  Once it stabilizes the master 
and devel branch of the repo will be pushed to both Savannah and GitHub.

Releases as always will be upload to ftp.gnu.org.

I realize that GitHub is not the best solution, but it is no worse than 
SourceForge.  I chose GitHub for now to increase the visibility of the 
project and as a pragmatic solution as I use GitHub regulatory for my 
current job where I work on other non-FSF Free (as in freedom) projects.

At some point in the future I might move the issues (and repo) to a more free 
solution such as GitLab.

I will continue to accept bug reports via email for those who do not wish 
to use GitHub.

Once again, GNU Aspell is alive.  Expect a maintenance release sometime in the 
next month or so.
