A bit inspired by this blog post:

http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/database-soup/postgres-needs-a-new-python-driver-36815

But also because I've noticed that a lot of projects that I care about
are not on these sites (github and bitbucket) in an official capacity,
and I think that is a big mistake.

My pitch is basically that, IMO, for the sake of lowering the barrier
to entry for contributors and for raising general exposure, I think it
would be of huge benefit (and little effort, since you're already
using git) to move the "official" repository to github.  Stick it
there, put in the description "official psycopg2 repository" and
invite contributors to fork, code and submit a pull request.

What I think is important is having the code easily accessible, in a
highly visible area where project activity is clear (so the code/site
will never look "stale").

That's my $0.02 anyway.  Any thoughts?

Best Regards,
Tom
