I agree it's useful (I pushed to add a README.md to it so the github
view would have a bit of explanation, could still be improved).

As I've poked at it at various times, it (github mirror) usually seems
to be pretty up to date, but sometimes falls a bit behind. I don't know
what the mechanism is for updating - whether it happens automatically or
via a human. The overhead shoudl be low, if a human needs to poke it, I
can help out, but automated should be way more reliable.
