In the long term, assuming we do want an official git repository, I
would be happier if we could just host it on biopython.org - this
shouldn't be a technical problem, but would require discussion with
the OBF team (e.g. opening ports, and who gets to look after the
service, backing it up etc).  That doesn't prevent a proof of concept
using github.
