I was curious about this claim "Successor of GNU Wget", so I looked at
the canonical GNU Wget site:

  https://gnu.org/s/wget

which states:

  Currently GNU Wget2 is being developed.  Please help us if you can
  with testing, docs, organization, development, ... see you at Wget2
  collaboration site <https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2>

For the source and home-page URLs, I would prefer to promote the gitlab
site over the github one, especially since that's the one referenced
from <https://gnu.org/s/wget>.

What do you think?
