[MetaCRS] Proj4J Status

[Nicholas Knize]

Quick bump. There's already a MetaCRS organization on github.  (Looks like
a zombie unrelated to osgeo, but its taken nevertheless)  There's also an
osgeo Organization on GitHub (https://github.com/osgeo).  I'm assuming
Frank knows about it since gdal is top the project list.  Any thoughts on
migrating the Proj4j github mirror I created to the osgeo organization?
