As an alternative, you could try our experimental, volunteer-run 
    read-only mirror:

    https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/libiconv.git
    or
    git://git.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/libiconv.git

Do the new experimental readonly mirrors provide any web browsing of the
repos (cgit, gitweb, ...), or just git access (via https or git as
shown)?

I'm guessing it's only git, since presumably the AI crawler problem
would otherwise repeat on each mirror, but just wanted to ask.(*)

Thanks,

P.S. I ask because automake's release process has always included
retrieving various common files (maintained in other repos) from
https://git.savannah.gnu.org, e.g., config.guess from:
  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=config.guess

I think I'll change the process to assume a local git checkout of those
other repos. That seems like the path of least resistance.
(I'm getting the expected 502 bad gateways ...)
