Hi,

The git setup is still functional.

I put some updated notes at:
https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/Git

Of course it is still pretty raw so we need to make it evolve
together.

Is this kind of access (git+ssh) enough for your mirroring purposes?

No I didn't, thanks for the useful link.

It does things in ways not very compatible with Savannah but we
definitely do the same job, as far as git is concerned.

I see that it uses a nifty naming convention:
/git/project.git
/git/project/other_repos.git

I think I'll adopt it :)
