Correct, I have misread the topic title, sorry :)
Could you elaborate about user experience? Which specific aspects are you referring to?
Just what is stated in my previous comment: instances of these frontends are often down (like Christian Moe says), some tend to be behind POH ("Proof of Human", so to speak) challenges like Anubis which are a hinder (but a necessary evil). In my opinion, nothing kills the user experience like having to fiddle and jump through hoops to get to a video.
Hmm. [gothub] looks totally fine to me. Not much different from github if I am just interested to see what the project is in read-only mode.
gothub proxies are *totally* insufficient for anything else than looking at the README of the project (and again, what Christian said). I expect a GiHub proxy to at least show issues and pull requests.
In summary, I echo the concerns of Christian: to keep the documentation usable, it will become a mainteinance burden and we risk to redirect users to suboptimal frontends.
I think that if RMS feels this is an issue worth solving, I have an idea: maybe RMS could ask the FSF to provide some sysadmins resources, deploy and maintain these frontends under *.gnu.org and keep them up 24/7/365.
