This was originally proposed as a way to facilitate Git migration—should
we decide in a year to migrate to, say, github.com :-) (or more
seriously: to self-host.)

But as Chris wrote, it’s also a good way to keep infra under the
project’s control, and provides a way to add redundancy through
mirroring for instance.
