My 0.5p on this: use the current git repo under Alex's GitHub account. If you ever want/need to move to a GitHub organisation account (for example, the project acquires more active developers, or you feel the need to make it feel more official), then you can.  However, there's no need to do this now IMHO, and not doing it now doesn't prevent anyone else from doing it should they want to either.

Thanks for that Tim: I've already migrated the CVS repo to git, and the script (and instructions for use) can be seen in the webmacro repo's wiki on GitHub.
