There's nothing stopping us from simply mirroring gimp-web on something
like github.  I'd have to check that it was actually ok, but it's
technically possible (using git hooks I think).  Then you could issue PR's
against the project.

This is something we can look at after the migration if it helps to ease
the ability to contribute!

It seems that the list may have stripped out your attachment?
