This is a very good idea, but I was thinking of doing almost exactly the
opposite: before I apply the changes to the main repo, I was planning to
create a wxHaskell-0.13 (wxWidgets 2.8.x) branch on code.haskell.org,
probably by creating wxdirect-0.13, wxcore-0.13 and wx-0.13 branches as
separate directories. The other option would be to move 0.13 support to
Darcsden.

I think it makes sense to have a 'central' repo for changes. It is easy for
private repositories to be lost over time.

Does this work for you?
