libvirt.org would be a bit strange since libosinfo isn't libvirt specific, and
ideally long term other projects like say cobbler would pick up libosinfo so
it may not even be virt specific.

gitorious could work, but then if no one watches for pull requests it's just
another place where contributions could be lost.

freedesktop would be cool, though no idea what the criteria is for getting a
project hosted there.
