fr33domlover, your passion for software freedom is admirable, but even

Therefore, by turning off mirroring for a module, you don't block anything

This is a great idea, but only if enough maintainers cooperate with it.
Otherwise, the Gnome officially using GitHub message is stronger than
a few small modules having your README.md file, while all other modules
have READMEs of the common kind.

As I've said before, GNOME uses proprietary services for collaboration and
outreach.
We have active presences on the proprietary communication services Google+,
