Like said, Marcos already created such an org and you're a member in it. :)
Also, I just converted our Hg repo to git and cherry-picked the Web MIDI
API spec, so I have created a repo to the WebAudio org, preserving the
history of the Web MIDI spec, but nothing else:
https://github.com/WebAudio/web-midi-api

The issues are still disabled, I'll use my script as soon as we decide on
this and manage to lock the Bugzilla.

Cheers,
Jussi
