Hi everyone,

I didn't see the previ= ous email about it, thank you Jani for the link. It looks like you guys hav= e your hands full and everything setup the way you like it, so here's w= hat I'll do myself (if it's acceptable with you, otherwise I'll= just remove everything):

- Revert my changes (except for the CI)
- Set= a cron job to update the mirror hourly for the Github user wanting to fork= .
- Remove the Issues, Pull Request and the Wiki
- Add = a "mirror of .." to the description on top of the page
- Manually update the contrib/ bindings/ as they change in here and ma= ybe automate it later.

Can you guys at least consider splitting contrib/ and bi= ndings/ into their own repo? It will make it easier for people to use the g= o bindings (for example) or to include the vim plugin as a submodule (or Vu= ndle bundle).
=C2=A0

For the automatic pus= her, I'll have to skip the README changes.

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 well, because of git's fundamental feature to be distribu= ted, =C2=A0I see
no reason why notmuch couldn't have a *mirror* on github, as well =C2= =A0as on
gitorious or bitbucket. As long as the description says explicitly:

*mirror of the http://git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch repositor= y*

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 and that the README.md starts by giving where the official = =C2=A0repo is,
and explains how to submit patches. And *always* refuse to merge in pull requests. A good thing would be to have it =C2=A0automatically =C2=A0kept = =C2=A0in sync
with the original repository, and a nice way to do it would be to create a post-receive hook on the principal repository.

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 As a nice =C2=A0side =C2=A0effect =C2=A0of =C2=A0doing =C2=A0= this, =C2=A0we'll =C2=A0stop =C2=A0having users
complain =C2=A0about =C2=A0"not =C2=A0being =C2=A0on =C2=A0github"= ;... =C2=A0Even =C2=A0though =C2=A0they =C2=A0should
understand that this is github that has a design flaw not being =C2=A0able = to
track forks coming from outside of github, or getting out of github.

my 2 cents,
