If you want i can add a git repo to https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb
i just need to know name, who should have write access (@ffmpeg_developers is 
possible, if its something else then you will have to maintain the list of
people who have access), where commitlog mails should go. But you can also put it on github
that said if anyone else wants basic git repos for any ffmpeg parts which
arent in teh main git, we can add it to git.ffmpeg.org too

thx
