Additional GitHub repositories for associated projects.

Description
Would it suit you gentlemen to have additional repositories in the "Redmine" group on GitHub containing the sources for projects related to Redmine?
In particular I'm thinking of the Mylyn plugin for Redmine and it's Eclipse connector.
https://github.com/awilkins/redmine-mylyn-connector
https://github.com/awilkins/redmine-mylyn-eclipse
(Mine are not the only forks of these sources on GitHub, there are several that all seem to have been independently siphoned out of the SourceForge repository via git-svn).
I'm happy with any kind of disclaimer that these are not "official" Redmine projects. I also have no problem if you refuse - I just think it might be nice to have a single location to focus efforts on some of these things. The community benefits from improved Redmine support, Redmine benefits from having a more attractive spread of plugins and client tools.
A good Mylyn plugin is a real plus for any issue tracking system used by a community of Java developer. The version as it stands has been stagnant and could use some work, so the maintenance would probably mostly be along the lines of folks like me, scratching their own issues, but it would seem to be a good idea to gather all these trickles of effort into one place.
I shall look forward to your thoughts on the matter.

I close it since it's not concerning Redmine core ; you should ask in development forum or by mail to Jean-Philippe.
I personally don't think that it would be a good idea: Redmine crew is not responsible for the maintenance of these projects; adding them to the Redmine groupe would be confusing to users and bring an overhead of tickets unrelated to core.
You could also try to contact the different uploaders/committers (there must not be a lot of them) and have them choose a common source repository or simply let the time tell which repository is the one to follow, that's one of the beautiful thing with the GH ecosystem.
