At least the file's location and user IDs suggest that it is specific
to GitHub; in any case I don't really care which one points to which.
I hope we can agree though that we don't really want two different
files representing code ownership in different ways that both
independently refer to a third mechanism for recording code ownership
that's external to the source tree?
