I maintained for a long time a git mirror for TeXmacs (search for mgubi at github), however it was configured quite naively and I’m not sure it is the best option. Maybe you guys should simply decide which of these repos is worth to elect as official git mirror and we can go along with that. I run a mirroring script once in a while. We should find out the best option to maintain a centralised mirror.
