[Discuss] Seeking new GCT source tarball host

[Alessandro Paolini]

Dear all,

We agreed to provide a simple http repo with sftp access.
To finalize the setup, we would need a person of contact, one or more ssh
public keys, and someone to update the gridcf.org dns zone.

Could you please provide our colleague Benjamin with the information?

Best regards,
Alessandro
