Yea I got that idea, but the only upside I see is if someone doesn't 
know how to use cvs.  I guess that's a growing number of people these 
days ...

The problem is that by forking your mirror, folk fork some arbitrary 
version of librumpuser from when you last updated it, not -current which 
we'd like patches to be sent against.

If we went all the way with gitificating posix rumpuser, we'd be able to 
merge or discard those useful sets of patches with the press of a button.

Yea it's quite a bother to rename github repos ;)

You can of course call it whatever you want as long as it's the 
unofficial source, it was just a suggestion.
