That is an excellent idea. And as it turns out we have been working
on just such a thing. I have been hesitant to mention it because
things are still in that experimental stage and perhaps not fully
stable. But things seem to be making progress so I guess I will
mention it and let you try it out.
That is very lovley news!
[Aside: Where is git.gnu.org documented? I recall this being
reported as not working a few years ago and we just made it point to
git.savannah.gnu.org because we didn't know what else it would point
to but also not having seen it documented anywhere. I have always
assumed this was something list in the sands of time.]
git.gnu.org has "always" been an alias for git.sv.gnu.org; similar
with svn.gnu.org, cvs.gnu.org, etc. It has always worked for me,
since I cannot be bothered typing the whole thing. Not sure what
documentation you are refering too.
For git fetch operations from the read-only node feel free to try
these un-certificated protocol URLs. I think the naming for these is
fairly stable. I will list them as examples using grep because the
paths are somewhat different for each of them and I think having a
working example is useful.
git clone git://git.git.savannah.gnu.org/grep.git
git clone http://http.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/grep.git
Is the intent to make this magic from the users side when this gets
fully implemented, so that git clone http://git.gnu.org/.. does the
right thing, and the authenticaed to the same git.gnu.org does the
right things?
Reason asking is that bots and CI/CD don't have much empathy to do the
right thing, so URLs will stay as they are ...

I have no plans to propagate the /r raw mode service.
I'm not sure what this means, or is ...
A personal note from me. I am currently on travel. I am actually
sitting on the deck of a sailboat typing this at the moment. I am
offline much of the day and some days completely. It depends upon
where we are going with the boat and what needs to be happening while
on it. I am working through recent tragic events and for those who
know this is a very good activity for me. I will be on the net as I
can be and will be working on specific targeted things as I can work
on them. And at the moment I have caught some germ from the airline,
or from before, or something and am rather sick with a respiratory
ailment of some type. I feel okay mostly. But if you heard my voice
right now you would definitely believe that I am sick! I am being
sent to the clinic here in a few minutes because of it.
Happy sailing, happy hacking and a happy speedy recovery!
