Thanks for the contributions you made both to this project and other
parts of libvirt over the years !

Unfortunately the libvirt project itself doesn't have money for funding
domain names / etc, because we wanted the project to operate independantly
of Red Hat or any other commercial for-profit company. We rely on Daniel
Veillard's willingness to fund libvirt.org domain/server, so we can't take
on the domain name, unless there is an individual contributor willing to
pay for it. We're happy to continue hosting the website / git, as that
doesn't incurr any measurable cost.
