This CG is creating errata for the Touch Events REC (and perhaps an 
Edited Recommendation) as well as updates for the Touch Events Extension 
Note. We expect people to continue to use the HG location of these two 
docs as the place to find the latest version of the spec. It seems 
sub-optimal to have to create a new WG to do the above, thus the path of 
least resistance is to allow the CG to reuse the document repo it used 
while it was a WG.

I suppose Github plus some redirection could be used instead, provided 
the history can be copied.
