For those of you who are still unfamiliar with GitHub,

That doesn't mean absolutely none of us are just doing personal projects which we keep on
our own computers.
Could people please try checking out the project on GitHub, and committing a
change?
Git commits are local, and will always succeed.
I committed some updates the other day and they seem they have gone straight into the
online repository.
I'm guessing you actually want to allow
anyone to push their commits to your repository, which is not how collaboration
on GitHub
works. You may want to read up on pull requests:
https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/
That mentions a 'shared repository model'. What is that if not a way of enabling any user
to push changes? (That said, it isn't clear at the moment how to control whether a given
repository is fork-pull or shared, or even whether the distinction is at the repository
setup level or some other.)
It's too late in the day for me to take much in at the moment, but another page
I've found
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5010754/github-collaborators-have-commit-access
seems to say that, if I make somebody a 'collaborator', then that somebody will be able to
commit to my repository.

The module list has no value these days. Most people in that list no longer use
D.
?? The module list is a list of modules, not a list of people.
Git allows quickly checking the history of any one file. Contributions to the
project itself
have been so few that it makes no sense to partition out module ownership.
That isn't the sole purpose of the module list. It also serves to document the status of
each file.
If the decision is made to relocate Bindings permanently to GitHub, the wiki
pages will
be migrated in due course.
Given that SVN is going the way of RCS and CVS, it's not really an "if".
What do you mean by this?
