This is probably the biggest potential benefit for the project. I'm
not sure what effect it will have (if any) on contributions, but this
sort of thing is dead easy with github and still pretty easy with two
git repositories hosted on entirely different systems.
We're finally doing the last step of a prolonged svn-to-git migration
at Truviso and I've learned a thing or two about the migration
process. If the pgjdbc team decide to pull the trigger, I'll offer my
meager expertise to the endeavor.
