I like your solution very much.  Thanks for moving forward so fast :)  I'm
fine to have ownership for the time being, but I prefer if other person can
take it over. Or, cannot we have several owners at the same time?

Well, I plan to maintain pytables.org for at least a year, so I think we can
go directly with Pro in github, and in case anybody wants the 'old' PyTables
std, it can always create a new branh anywhere.

I *do* have the purpose to continue with Blosc and carray as my toy
projects, so I think I can still be the maintainer for those if you don't
mind ;)  But it would be a good idea to migrate the Blosc repository to
github too.  Added to my 'todo' list.

Sure!  Thanks a lot for you job!
