I think we need to have the aggregator [0] run a regular build to
update the list of Git repositories, soon. That becomes more important
as that list starts including tags, contrib/core/etc status and other
metadata that will change more often than now.

I don't think a large Git repository is a good place for such an
automatically built list of Git repositories metadata, as Jenkins
would need to transfer lots of unneeded data, a dedicated small
repository is much better for that. And I'm not sure right now how to
push the output of that to any branch from builds.apache.org, at this
point I only know how to commit to an asf-site branch (by tying the
Jenkins build to build nodes having the git-websites label).
