Thanks, I can see it now :)

Yeah, fair enough. I don't really feel the need to decide on this right
now. I want to add a link to the ogl-sample code in our FAQ, so that's
the only repo I have a motivation to do something with right now.

I would say we move both the ogl-sample repo and the glx repo to the
mesa organization, and mark them as read-only as we reasonably can. I'm
pretty much indifferent to archiving vs permissions-tweaks, but I do
very slightly lean towards archiving (AFAIK, owners can always push
regardless of premissins-tweaks, so there's a *very* theoretical chance
of something going wrong then).

The glx-repo can wait until there's a motivation, I think.
