Another issue.  The github vpp repo doesn't seem to be a mirror to me or the 
mirror is not updated frequently enough.  During the past months, I was 
writing a new VPP plugin.  The code crashed outside of my plugin.  After a day 
or two, I pulled a gerrit vpp repo and using my plugin, the code didn't crash. 
I aw significant differences between the github and gerrit repos at the time.

I agree with Elias.  Long term, maybe use of gerrit is deprecated and github 
is used. Github is free for public repos.

I think it would be good if that could be clarified on the github page.
When people search for "vpp source code" or similar, I think they will often 
end up on the github page and it's not immediately obvious from there that 
it's only a mirror. (People might get the wrong idea about some things, for 
example github shows a "contributors" list which I guess is not accurate as it 
only shows authors who happen to have github accounts that are linked to 
gerrit in some way?)

The github page says, under "About" to the right, "No description, website, or 
topics provided." So there is apparently a possibility to enter a 
"description", perhaps that could be used to indicate that it is just a 
mirror?

Best regards,
Elias
