So logrotate was originally hosted on Fedora infrastructure that is then
shut down, a github repository appears and Fedora fetch from that github
repository.  Also the commit in the github repository to change the README
from fedorahosted to github (
https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/commit/09c4fa8bc6cf2c01bad24d33c3ea69371030c014)
was committed by a Red Hat employee (https://github.com/kdudka).

Whilst there are many official-looking forks on github that are just Some
Guy, this is clearly the new canonical home.
