Hi,

In the past, uqs@ and koobs@ have helped me with
getting set up with admin-related stuff under https://github.com/freebsd.

Also, it is very clear that uqs@ has done the heavy lifting to set up the
initial git mirror and keep things going.
All I can say for this is:   THANKS!

Would it be appropriate to create an e-mail alias git-admin at freebsd.org,
and have the contact names for the people who are actively maintaining
the SVN -> Git mirror, and also the https://github.com/freebsd section on
github?

To someone from the outside, it is not obvious who owns and maintains this
stuff.

If you log into hub.freebsd.org, and look at /etc/aliases, you can see
that we already have jenkins-admin@ , phabric-admin@, perforce-admin@,
clusteradm@, etc.

For continuity of the project, it is important to have more than one person
on these aliases, to keep things going.  I realize that people move on to
other non-FreeBSD things
due to work, family, etc., so having backup people is important.

git and github are already pretty important to several people basing
products
off of FreeBSD, using git, so I suggest we create git-admin@

What do folks think?
What names should go on that alias?
