Sadly, fluidsynth's upstream is basically dead. There are so many custom
fluidsynth forks floating around (esp. on github) that it's really hard to
find and choose an update-to-date one. Personally I'm currently very
demotivated to look through any recent patches, because I know they wont
make it into upstream anyway. Not even talking about doing any further
development.

Hence I insistently ask the fluidsynth owners: Please, do the step and move
to github. github has been a very popular and modern platform for a couple
of years now, while sourceforge is pretty much the opposite IMO. There are
tutorials and scripts online to migrate code and tickets easily (
https://github.com/ttencate/sf2github). Create a github organization and
invite a few people who have been actively developing patch recently, to
allow them to merge patches. That way we would at least revive upstream
development.

Any comments?
