Thank you for doing this analysis! I have been begging the Project to 
drop all mirrors for a long time now. I failed to convince others that 
the associated embarrassment and waste of time are just not worth the 
benefits. Maybe your observations will be the last straw...

FWIW, I am quite sure, and has been making that suggestion for several 
years now. GitHub is far from perfect, but using its release posting 
features (correctly) will dramatically decrease our release overheads 
and delays. This migration is not trivial, and I have failed to convince 
others that it is worth their time to start migrating.
