Which provider is bound to have more experience with running the services? The one that runs a couple dozen repos, or the one serving a couple million repos? I mean it's completely out of question, it's pointless to even argue about.
Not to mention various synergies resulting from a GitHub host, like people don't have to sign up a separate account just for GCC, they're already familiar with the interface etc. And I'm saying this as someone who runs GitLab for the company. GitLab is great for small to midsize teams, but if you want something serious, it's a whole lot of $$$. I also don't much like the interface. I mean it's decent, just not as good.

What about their own GitLab instance too?

The GitHub mirror has successfully updated: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc (that has everything, including the not-fetched by default refs, plus GitHub-specific refs/pull/* refs for pull requests people created on GitHub in the past). The GitHub mirror should keep automatically updating in future.
Please use it instead of the primary mirror for cloning since gcc.gnu.org can barely handle many people doing an initial checkout.
If GNU wants to have backups, that makes perfect sense, but making the self-hosted instance the primary mirror is just foolish in this day and age. GitHub gives them all the bells and whistles... for free.Last edited by anarki2; 12 January 2020, 04:47 PM.

With Stallman out of the way, I guess they can actually think about *convenience* for once.
Weird-ass chomo.
