Ok, I submitted a request for the project under pgfoundry. Same name

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.
