[avahi] Official github organization for avahi

Hi,

Some of us at Kinvolk talked to Lennart about the official repository of
the avahi project, because at the moment the situation is quite confusing -
the official repo is still http://git.0pointer.net/avahi.git, but
apparently the newest releases are cut from the
https://github.com/lathiat/avahi repo and the main avahi page mentions the
latter as the location for filing issues and pull requests.

It may be a good idea to create an official organization on github to avoid
this situation. Currently, github.com/avahi seems to be taken, so there are
two options:
Follow the anti-squatting policy on github (
https://help.github.com/articles/name-squatting-policy/) to take over the
name.
If this account is actually used (may have an activity only on private
repositories, so from outside it looks unused), then maybe register an
organization under a different name like avahi-sd (from avahi service
discovery).

If there is an agreement for the above scenario, I can make the steps to
let it happen.

I can also offer some of my time to the maintenance of the project.

Cheers,
Krzesimir Nowak
