so I checked this with the developers and they are all happy to move to
GNOME's git. How do we proceed then? I have at least some questions:

1) Juan (added him to CC), the other maintainer of Grilo, does not have
a GNOME account yet, he would need to obtain one before we move the
code, I guess this should not be a problem. Should he request his
account using the normal procedure (http://live.gnome.org/NewAccounts)?

2) Do we have to move to GNOME's Git before we get the mailing list or
this is something we can postpone a bit (I am talking about 2-3 weeks
for example)

3) Would be possible to have a Grilo component in GNOME's Bugzilla at
some point? Any additional requirements needed for that?
