As a user, I've thought it would be great if MacPorts used git syncing by default. I have used git-over-https since 2016 when I was constrained to ports 80/443 by a university campus network. I had found it also avoided needlessly writing hundreds of MB to the SSD when updating the ports tree. If GitHub outages are a concern, then I would think falling back to a mirror hosted by GitLab/SourceForge/Bitbucket/etc. should be possible.
