The plan has *never* been GitHub. The original plan was self hosted with a

How does the mirroring work? It seems 99% of the dev world is using GitHub now
so it's a pity to have to learn new tools if we don't have to. I'm very happy
with GitHub myself and use it often.
Just like the mirroring of everyone else not using GitHub as main
repository works - and there are many! Especially the bigger ones (LLVM
comes to mind, Linux as well and ReactOS). You'll be able to pull from
GitHub and issue Pull Requests which we in turn are able to apply. What
won't work however are issues. Those will only be available on the main
repository.
Also please note that we probably won't set up the mirror right away.
And as I said: GitLab and GitHub aren't /that/ different regarding their
use. In my opinion there is no excuse not to learn these differences and
work with GitLab directly as well. You'll have to for bug reports anyway.

Sven
