We have an automatically synchronized Bitbucket mirror. Why do you prefer Github's pull requests over Bitbucket's? I'm not against also running a Github mirror, there are tools that should allow lossless conversion between the two. However, last time I tried those (https://github.com/xnyhps/adium), the repository went from ~700 MB to 2.5GB. Anyone who would want to use Github to quickly send a pull request to Adium would probably give up trying to clone that. I could have a look at what causes that enormous increase in size, but unless we decide to drop a lot of history and create a new repository without binary frameworks it will still end up quite large.
