If someone wants to set up a container for gitlab and mirror the github
org, then we could flip the mirror and have github be a downstream mirror
of the gitlab. But who will do this?

The question is ultimately whether GitHub will find ways to stay true to

hosting the world's libre licensed code: That's how they get developers
into their conversion funnel.
