Yes, thanks to Christian Walde' (Mithaldu) for setting up the mirroring
and recently adding all the current SF repos to GitHub as well
(pdl-linearalgebra, pdl-io-hdf5, etc.). See <https://github.com/PDLPorters>.

I seem to recall this was also done with Inline and Inline::C when they
were split about a year ago?

Sure, I'll try my hand at a couple and then take what I learned from
those to apply them to the others. I was thinking that starting with
PDL::IO::GD might work nicely since that might involve also creating an
Alien::GD.
