I also propose this. In fact, I once talked to Christoph about having a mirror for Kate, then we'd merge pull requests into the KDE Kate.git and it'll get to github then automatically later. We didn't follow this more, though. This is *all* about attracting more contributors, so we should do it, with clear communication that github is just a mirror.
