If I understand correctly, a large part of the rationale for the github
mirror was that it was supposed to result in additional code
contributors,, since people who already contributed to other github
projects would be more likely to check out the GNOME code if it was
mirrored on github. What h

FWIW I only use our GitHub mirrors when our GitLab is running slow. But
that happens often enough

In some cases, the mirror shows up before our hosting in search engines
like Google and DuckDuckGo.
I've been frustrated by that before.

Hi,

I agree with Michael here,
I think a lot of people just default to github and being there has value in
itself. The Pull Request is indeed a not so great situation and I think we
should think hard about making it easy for people who took the time to
contribute.

In my opinion, GitHub is still superior for viewing code:
1. It is much faster. Code loads with the page instead of having to
wait for AJAX request.
2. GitHub offers a feature to jump to blame from parent commit of the

Hi all,
While the GitHub mirror may have been useful back before GitLab, it
actually discourages contributions because PRs aren't accepted there. I've
not seen from any positive outcomes from it that I can remember, only
negative ones. As such I think it should be deleted.
