Hey, As expected the GitHub mirror might be costing us some contributions rather than attracting more: - none of the projects repositories mention that the mirrors are mirrors - the READMEs don't mention that they're mirrors either, or point to the upstream code, Bugzilla or code contributions - none of the project pages on the Wiki mention that the GitHub repos are mirrors - the PR getting closed means that the contribution won't even be looked at, after the person's figured out how to try and contribute to the repository

We really need a way to disable PRs, or disable the mirror. At the *very least*, and that would need to happen yesterday, we need a PR template mentioning that PRs will be closed, and the repository descriptions mentioning that the repositories are mirrors.
