Hmm. psqlodbc has always been the name of the project, for better or
worse. I agree it's not a very good name, but that's the name we use in
the binaries, old website, git repository etc. That's just my 2c,
though; what do others think?

Right.

I'm planning to set up the github repository as a mirror of the
psqlodbc-www repository at git.postgresql.org. So
git://git.postgresql.org/git/psqlodbc-www.git would still be the
authoritative repository.

You mean create the website as a "project page" instead of an
"user/organization page"? I don't think that would allow main URL to be
"odbc.postgresql.org", it would be "odbc.postgresql.org/psqlodbc".
