I'm curious why there is not only push function is disabled but also
pull function. Does this mean that there is no 'git clone' available too?

That seems to be a misunderstanding. A "pull request" in git(hub) lingo
means asking an upstream git project to merge a change.

A readonly clone is going to be available for atticized projects.

I summarize:  for a attic project  no git push and pull request are
available, only git clone and git pull.

Thus it is not possible to make a contribution or a potential
contribution for such a project within TDF resources.

The attic proposal expects for the de-attic process (extraction):

• A publicly available repository has to be present, collecting new
  modifications to the initial project. This repository needs to be
  based on the initial atticized repository;

• A sufficient number of developers [2] have committed changes to the
  forked repository, ideally not all of them affiliated to the same
  entity;

• Every developer should have pushed 5-10 non-trivial commits over the
  span of at least three months;

Because it is not possible to make a pull request or to work on a branch
of the attic project on TDF resources, the work on that project has to
be done somewhere else.

The developers which work on that project need to organize their work
inside that new environment. They will already organize their workflow
and communication channels.

And thus the question pops up, why they should invest their (volunteer)
work time to ask for moving the project onto TDF resources, change their
workflow etc. and transfer everything onto TDF resources and under the
hat and control of TDF.

Thus if TDF moves a project to the attic a steel door is locked behind
it with a lot of locks. It will be unlikely that such a project will get
back to live inside the TDF environment.

Regards,
Andreas
