The CFFI web page http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/ points to the git repository http://common-lisp.net/gitweb?p=projects/cffi/cffi.git, but that is no longer the official git repository for CFFI, it is on github now. The cl.net repo is severely out of date (master looks OK, but the fsbv branch is ancient and libffi doesn't even show). The web page should point to github, and the cl.net repo should either be deleted or synced up with github.
Would it be possible for you to get push access to cl.net, rather than having the rest of us start following a different repository?
I understand Zach's post recommending Github; but unfortunately Github encourages a fractured community, leading to messages like yours (hey everybody, look over here) and almost caracitured by Cyrus.

Installing gitolite on cl.net would make git hosting much easier for end users to manage. Keeping everything in one place, where trusted admins can add and remove users, should be more conducive to community development.
Imagine if SBCL changed repositories or even websites depending on whether Christophe or Juho was rolling the release... Stability and predictability are virtues.
