In my opinion, there's a big difference between someone's personal use
of a non-free service, and GNOME as an entity (which is supposed to
develop and promote free software) promoting a non-free service. This
is what the "GNOME's official GitHub mirror" tagline makes it sound
like.

PS: Yes, I'm sending this from a GMail account, no I don't think this
is good, and if you ask me I'm not going to recommend using Google
services. I'm also slowly moving off from GMail.
