Yes, it is possible. I took the liberty and went ahead and did that so it
can be pushed straight to the newly created repository. Alternatively, any
W3C admin can just fork that repository, and I'll nuke my local afterwards
which will make that the authoritative repo.

One problem I see is that certain commits do not associate correctly with
the author's Github account - namely these people (in alphabetical order)
Arthur Barstow
hiro
Josh Soref (a.k.a. timeless)
Rick Byers
Scott Graham
I can fix this with the awesome (*cough* evil *cough*) filter-branch
command and correct the authors for those who prefer that, alternatively
the affected people can also add the mail address used for the commit
message to Github. But please let me do that before anyone starts cloning
the repository, since pushing/pulling after a history rewrite can cause a
decent amount of arcane behavior for those who haven't dealt with a
repository that has been touched by the evil forces.
