it feels like there's an echo in the room ;-)<br>

<br>
well, because of git's fundamental feature to be distributed, I see<br>
no reason why notmuch couldn't have a *mirror* on github, as well as on<br>
gitorious or bitbucket. As long as the description says explicitly:<br>
<br>
*mirror of the <a href="http://git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch" target="_blank">http://git.notmuchmail.org/<u></u>git<u></u>/notmuch</a> repository*<br>
<br>
and that the README.md starts by giving where the official repo is,<br>
and explains how to submit patches. And *always* refuse to merge in pull<br>
requests. A good thing would be to have it automatically kept in sync<br>
with the original repository, and a nice way to do it would be to create<br>
a post-receive hook on the principal repository.<br>
<br>
As a nice side effect of doing this, we'll stop having users<br>
complain about "not being on github"... Even though they should<br>
understand that this is github that has a design flaw not being able to<br>
track forks coming from outside of github, or getting out of github.<br>
<br>
my 2 cents,<br>
<br>
