I'm one of the 'foundry admin team', and I can definitely state that we
have been accepting projects as ppl are proposing them ... as to
gborg->pgfoundry, the only thing that has been holding that up is that the
two systems are not compatible at the DB end of things, so moving ppl over
isn't the easiest thing to do ... but, for those that have approached us
asking to be migrated, we've worked at migrating those over manually ...
