Yes - I'm also hoping to switch biopython.org to the GitHub
pages version ASAP (and we the OBF need to write a blog
post about this too):

https://github.com/biopython/biopython.github.io
http://biopython.github.io/wiki/Biopython

I made some progress on the migration, and will tackle the
category pages next, then "borrow" some of Andreas' styling
work as showcased on the (now live) http://biojava.org site.

Adding the static API docuemntation pages should be easy,
the old release might be more trouble if there are any hosting
or file size limits we might hit...
