It started with Alioth being a Debian native tool. But Alioth shows its age. I
created a Github proxy for convenience. It is also easy to use (and create PRs).

Maybe I should switch to Github (There's already a PR from Hans to switch the
Vcs Repos). Its just that some people are finicky about github.

I'll push a new version to backports.d.o
It is much simpler, and I've already requested my a/c to have the necessary
privileges to upload.

Have you tested 1.7 on Jessie ?
From my last test results, it looked good enough.
