No problems, GNOME having read-only mirrors can be useful to people. Just make sure there's an easy way to opt out. For example, I wouldn't want any of my code automatically uploaded to GitHub. I think every maintainer should have the right to cancel mirroring for their module. If GitHub was

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. Judging by replies here, I'm afraid there's no
