The conversion from sourceforge was done using the github importer tool. (https://import.github.com/new)
A pristine copy of the old repository is available at https://github.com/docutils/docutils-old.
One of the issues with the git mirror at http://repo.or.cz/w/docutils.git and the vanilla import at https://github.com/docutils/docutils-old is:
- docutils - docutils/* should preferably be on repository root
