IMHO, +1.

Still, don't we have some sort of version control system at
microformats.org we could use? The main problem I see is that the
volume of messages this will generate will clog up uf-dev, so a
separate list and bug/issue tracker is needed.

If you end up setting up a google code, we should keep this list
posted on what's being done over there... any significant
developments, etc. should be crossposted to uf-dev.

Having said that, I'm in, no matter where we do it.
