Subject: [PATCH] More prominently talk about alternative hosting

In particular, plug github quite a bit more, because it's usually
a much better offering than git.postgresql.org. For one thing, they
have people actually responding quickly to requests ;)

+If you want to to use git, while also getting some of the features
+that are on pgfoundry, we strongly advise you to look at
+<a href="http://github.com">github</a>. They provide full project hosting
+on git, including webpages, wikis and issue trackers. They provide a much
+more refined hosting product than we do, and as long as your project is
+open source, it's free!

+<p>
+If you want to work on code on one of the main PostgreSQL projects (including
+the backend and pgAdmin for example), there are mirrors of these projects
+available under the <a href="http://github.com/postgres">postgres</a>
+organization on github. Forking from there will give you access to many
+useful github tools for tracking your work.
+</p>
+<p>
 Obviously, if your project is not PostgreSQL related, this is not the place
 to go looking.
