You should be happy that a number of us have been interested in 
Automake-NG enough to remain subscribed to its mailing list and 
provide comments on directions and ideas.  Being on the mailing list 
requires a level of dedication.

Git surely makes it easy to promote a branch to a new top-level 
repository.  Having it available by default in a repository would be 
easier to grasp for git-challenged people like me.  Alpha/beta release
