I, for one, would just like to have my own email added to the longest email
thread ever about OpenMRS and git.

Also, I am willing to move formentry, remoteformentry, dataintegrity or any
of the other modules I am intimately familiar with over to git if someone
really wants me to.  I'll probably start my toying around by moving
AMPATH-specific modules to our own organization, but I will keep with the
nomenclature of "openmrs-module-[modulename]".
