[pkgdb2] call for testers, bug reports and RFE

[Dennis Gilmore]

By using github you are also eliminating the possibility of some people to contribute to your project. I personally won't create an account on github. Just because I believe that open projects should be hosted on open platforms. I'd rather us work out a way to have an open patch submission and review process. 

There is pros and cons of each.
