Thanks for the suggestion but we currently don't use GitHub as
it doesn't comply with our hosting wishes:
<https://www.privoxy.org/gitweb/?p=privoxy.git;a=blob;f=TODO;hb=HEAD#l542>

I also would prefer to have binaries built on systems the packager controls.

Sounds great.

Yes, please use the privoxy-devel@ list to further discuss this.
