[Neuroimaging] Mindboggle as part of nipy?

[Ariel Rokem]

As for how to go about development: if for the time being you are the only
person writing and merging code on mindboggle, you can either make PRs and
merge these yourself, or merge/push to master yourself on your machine,
without PRs. In the longer run, hopefully others will join you, and then
PRs will be the way to go. In that stage, you will certainly still want a
fork of the project under your user account, so that you can use the git
workflow for PRs and so on.

One way to go about creating the right structure would be to ask the github
support team to reverse the forking relationship between nipy/mindboggle
and binarybottle/mindboggle. They can do that kind of thing - I've seen it
done!

This is important, because otherwise PRs will still be done relative to the
'root node' of the forking relationship, which at the moment is
binarybottle/mindboggle.
