I would be in favor of changing this description. How about:

	Git Source Code Mirror - Pull Requests can be submitted via GitGitGadget

Presense of GGG does not change the fact that the repository is
publish only.  But "all pull requests are ignored" is not correct
anymore.

    Git Source Code Mirror - This is a publish-only repository but
    pull requests can be turned into patches to the mailing list via
    GitGitGadget. Please follow Documentation/SubmittingPatches
    procedure for any of your improvements.

I didn't double-check but I presume SubmittingPatches these days
talk about GGG?

I don't think so. Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt does as of
76644e3268 (documentation: add tutorial for first contribution,
2019-05-17), but the same treatment was not applied elsewhere.

I would not be sad to see a reference to GGG be made in
SubmittingPatches.

Thanks,
Taylor

It does not, but it links to Documentation/MyFirstContribution,
which does.

I think this is descriptive enough so that newcomers can find their way.

Excellent. Junio had made the adjustment, and I merely added a link to
GitGitGadget's high-level description.

Thank you, all,
