yikes... I still think that having a unified visible point at
github pointing to Debian's project, its forge, nice FOSS projects to
interact with github was quite a good thing to have. Not to mention
possible unification of the origin for PRs to upstream projects.
IMHO it is plain silly to not utilize a reasonable and low-effort
channel to bring even more links/people back into Debian and possibly
help Debian project as a whole.
So I have reincarnated Debian organization on Github. IMHO all your
efforts and work of github admins to get this one back should not be
wasted.
Would you mind if I push README which you originated, Charles?
Since there were no license terms attached, if you disagree I guess I
will have to rewrite some parts to avoid infringing ;)

In my opinion fighting and education for freedom is important, but for
this particular purpose I am coming out of practical causes instead of
ideological. After all this is a page on github and for Debian... And
that is what relevant technically.
