GNOME's official GitHub mirror
Hello everyone, I've been working with the GitHub guys and Andrea Veri on setting up a mirror for all GNOME repos in GitHub. I have more detailes about this in a blog post[0] I just published. The aim of this mirror is just to serve as a starting point for people wanting to have a public branch where they can publicize their work even if they don't have a GNOME account. It should also help maintainers keep track of the work people is doing out there with their code. There's no intention to support pull requests or to depend in any way in this service, this is just a nice-to-have to serve the GitHub's community and user base. The hooks are supposed to be non invasive and this should be completely transparent to the rest of our infrastructure, if you have any issues feel free to get in touch with me or Andrea! Let me know if you have any questions or requests, happy hacking!

GNOME's official GitHub mirror Posted Aug 22, 2013 8:21 UTC (Thu) by ovitters (subscriber, #27950) [Link]
This announcement resulted in the huge thread on desktop-devel-list, though mostly from a few people I never heard about before. They also use fake names. IMO all their worries are explained in the announcement. E.g. no dependency on this at all. Also an irrational like for any software that is free software. E.g. because there is GitHub and there is Gitorious, Gitorious must obviously be used.
In am mostly happy with GitHub because it should have a much higher bandwidth than git.gnome.org itself has. So to me they only are a sponsor for a higher bandwidth.
That bandwidth is not going to be solved by installing Gitorious.
