digitalmars.D - Move dsource WindowsAPI to github?

I've used a personal mirror here so I can clone or use it as a submodule:
https://github.com/AndrejMitrovic/WindowsAPI

After a while I started adding my own commits because of some nasty
code breakage, but that means my repo is not in sync with the dsource
version.

Worst of all, people seem to think I'm the author of WindowsAPI, and
now someone even made a pull adding Dub suport:
https://github.com/AndrejMitrovic/WindowsAPI/pull/2

So I suggest the dsource WinAPI team to move to Github (or maybe some
other more visible hosting service like Bitbucket).

That way people can use submodules, and they can also use Dub if the
dev team adds this support. Most importantly we'll have a single
source of the bindings, rather than have a dozen personal clones
scattered around github (I'm not the only one with a publicly hosted
WinAPI clone, I've noticed there are others as well).

Meanwhile I'll delete my clone from github, as people are confused and
think it's an official repository. I'd use a private repo to begin
with, but there's no free private repos on github (yeah Bitbucket has
them but I'm not fond of hosting my projects on 10 different places).

I was aware it wasn't original repo. I just didn't want to ask 
for a change to github for original when mirror worked perfectly 
fine.

I should have mentioned this sorry.

Yes I'm lazy and just want dub to work with it imho.

I suggest someone could create a 'dsource.org' github account and 
move all sources over there. After some time, however, after this 
intention would be officially announced, so that anybody who may 
disagree had a chance to withdraw his/her project off this 
process. Ones someone takes over a project off this account, the 
maintainer would delete it on this account.

This could bring fresh air to the content of the panoptical 
dsource.org and let it pass away to oblivion. It may lead to less 
google relevance when looking for D after some time, may it not?

p.s. if there is no volunteer, I might be the one to take care of 
:-)

any variables. I use such
setup in my projects and it helps greatly to identify what went
wrong when not using a debugger.

Does someone have the DSource admins contact details and ask 
him/her to nuke the site. It's causes so much confusion.

You are replying to a year-old thread. (It was bumped by a 
spammer.)

And DSource should be archived, not "nuked".

Good idea. When trying to DUBify ae I stumbled upon the problem 
that these bindings weren't DUBified themselves.
