If the developers implemented the instructions to push to both SourceForge and
GitHub at the same time described here

<https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/GitHub%20Importer/#source-code>),
would that permit you to shut down your cron scripts and save yourself from
the burden of error emails?
