Thanks 
Regarding the github, I think it would be ideal if you could switch to github as primary repo. I think it would be easier for the community to contribute, to log issues/questions, etc. It has become the standard for open-source projects. It would also be nice to have a way for us to contribute to documentation (correct typos,..etc.),.. but of course it might not be so easy to set that up...
Regards, 
Pierre

Thanks for the report. I will commit the patch soon (and it will
appear in the next minor releases).

It is just a copy of the original repository
(https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgpool2.git;a=summary) for
people who are familiar with Github, wanting to look into the source.
Currently it is maintained manually so sometimes it is outdated. We
plan to update automatically.
