80 well, because of git's fundamental feature to be distributed, I see
\r
81 no reason why notmuch couldn't have a *mirror* on github, as well as on
\r
82 gitorious or bitbucket. As long as the description says explicitly:
\r
84 *mirror of the http://git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch repository*
\r
86 and that the README.md starts by giving where the official repo is,
\r
87 and explains how to submit patches. And *always* refuse to merge in pull
\r
88 requests. A good thing would be to have it automatically kept in sync
\r
89 with the original repository, and a nice way to do it would be to create
\r
90 a post-receive hook on the principal repository.
\r
92 As a nice side effect of doing this, we'll stop having users
\r
93 complain about "not being on github"... Even though they should
\r
94 understand that this is github that has a design flaw not being able to
\r
95 track forks coming from outside of github, or getting out of github.
