[postgis-devel] PSC Vote: Add Phillip Ross to PostGIS Docker Hub org

[Yuri Astrakhan]

Phillip, thanks, sounds reasonable.

I would guess we should simply transfer the repository ownership
from appropriate to postgis account, rather than fork and loose all the
issues/PRs/... work (there is a way to copy them too, but it won't be as
clean. Plus transfer leaves a redirect from the original URL)
