Seconded. The address was in the files in the release.

Yes, well. I never liked much the way gborg handled bugs. In fact, it's
the fact that people started using the bug system under gborg that
causes me to miss pgfoundry so much. Comments such as the one on
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/oledb/bugs/bugupdate.php?755 also
don't help.
The three bugs or so that actually need tracking I can transfer myself.
I don't think it justifies writing automatic conversion. It does not
even seem as if gborg is enjoying a lot of active projects anyways. Of
the three projects that had anything new to say in over a month, two
have just stated that they don't care about the rest of the info anyways.
To summarize, just give me read only access to the old project's data
and I'm set.
