As long as the description says explicitly: + +*mirror of the http://git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch repository* + + and that the README.md starts by giving where the official repo is, +and explains how to submit patches. And *always* refuse to merge in pull +requests. A good thing would be to have it automatically kept in sync +with the original repository, and a nice way to do it would be to create +a post-receive hook on the principal repository. + + As a nice side effect of doing this, we'll stop having users +complain about "not being on github"... Even though they should +understand that this is github that has a design flaw not being able to +track forks coming from outside of github, or getting out of github. + +my 2 cents, + +-- +Guyzmo -- 2.26.2
