Circling back on this topic: https://gitlab.com/git is unfortunately
taken, so it's out of question. I'd say the most pragmatic thing to do
would thus be to retain the already-existing location of the official
mirror at GitLab.

https://gitlab.com/git/ sems to give us 404, though.

That seems tot indicatie this is a user, not a group (gitlab is more advanced then github), but I could be wrong. In both cases the user has set this to private.

My guess is, someone set this up as a bot-user or something the like. Maybebgitlab could check activity (internally and confidentially) and see if the user would want to talk. But I admit is a bit hostile. Other we have no way of reaching out.


As for my mirror, I started my mail with I'd me more then happy to transfer ownership. The name I post cked as a reference to git-scm.org, and never intended to keep it for myself. As I initially wrote, I was just slow and lazy to sort thongs out ;)

I will transfer and relinquish any and all control of the group once I know to whom.

I still have not been able to reach Ævar until now. Unless somebody else
has a way to contact him directly we at GitLab are wondering how to
continue.

Git @ SFC has heard from avarab@gmail.com on Nov 29, 2023 but I do
not recall any more recent communications X-<.

It would certainly be great to set up ownership of whatever solution we
arrive at such that it's more distributed across the community so that
we don't have a single point of failure in the future. Also, I don't
want us at GitLab to be the sole owners of the mirror, so I have been
wondering how the other mirrors are set up and whom we should add to any
such mirror.

Distribution, yes.  I do not think we mind if the set of volunteer
owners end up to be all GitLab folks, but aiming for diversity is
good.

In any case, once things are arranged I will collaborate with our
support folks to get free CI minutes for the new mirror.

Wonderful.

Thanks.
