I want to use Github as the primary repo for the Python tools and NOT
the current repo at git.spdx.org.

Why?
Contributors have been complaining and are not happy with current
setup as they should.

Today the repo https://github.com/spdx/tools-python/ is a mirror of
http://git.spdx.org/?p=spdx-tools-python.git
This means that all commit must be done pushed to git.spdx.org and
eventually they will be replicated to github.
Eventually is a big word. It takes forever (it took about three days
on a recent commit)
This lack of sync just makes a sane workflow impossible in particular
to review pull requests and foster collaboration.

Even if the sync was to take less than a minute, this mirroring is
just an impediment and inefficient when all the work is taking place
on Gihub including issues and PRs.

The mirroring (if needed) should be done the other way:
http://git.spdx.org should be synced from the github repo for
reference.

This should be rather simple IMHO: just remove any mirroring hooks or
settings from repo @ spdx
(and if needed setup a cron job to pull from github instead.)

Who can make this happen? Kate? Gary?
I would rather have this ASAP.
