Yeah, PRs would have to land at GitHub anyways to be merged into the upstream.. I guess this is just a kind of worst-case-scenario research.. mirroring options.. or just playing around with Forgejo? :-) By the way is there a way so that PR from "wild mirrors" like on GitLab or Forgejo could land into the GitHub? You would have to push such commits to a branch on your local GH account and then create a PR to the upstream? -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
