From the incident report it sounds like the gentoo/systemd GitHub repo is not a mirror: the official repo is on GitHub and they're now looking to mirror it onto

  It probably just happened that way. To note, systemd isn't as popular/required for Gentoo as most people I know still use openrc. There is even a set of hacks (that I very thankfully use!) to use Gnome 3 on a non-systemd system[0].

  > The main Gentoo repositories are kept on Gentoo hosted infrastructure and Gentoo mirrors to GitHub in order to "be where the contributors are." Doesn't sound to me as if it's not a mirror. Though I guess you could say as their CI depended on this mirror, it had a higher status than normal mirrors.

    I'm specifically talking about https://github.com/gentoo/systemd https://github.com/gentoo/systemd From their incident report (under https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Github/2018-06-28#What_went_badly https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Github/2018-06-28#What_went_bad... ): "The systemd repo is not mirrored from Gentoo, but is stored directly on GitHub." And from their Action Items: "mirror systemd repo on git.gentoo.org" I'm curious why they seem to treat this repo differently from the others, using GitHub as authoritative and adding a mirror to git.gentoo.org rather than making git.gentoo.org authoritative and mirroring to GitHub.
