I'm aware of that mirror. What I'm talking about in my comment is that there was a time when the development of the Linux kernel actually moved to GitHub, due to problems with the regular Linux kernel development infrastructure.
Don’t remember Linux, but PHP moved development to GitHub after a security incident: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/113838
