So Github is down currently, and also had a few hiccups recently See here.
This is a recent development, Github used to be quite reliable but it is lately having more and more issues (Vibe-coded server code?). Perhaps it is time to re-evaluate how dependent the whole ecosystem is on Github, and what if at some point a critical incident lasts more than a few minutes/hours. There was at some point one official and one inofficial project for a registry mirror, but both are unmaintained and more crucially both are on Github as well. Maybe we could have an automated mirror in Gitlab or Codeberg(Strong/prohibitive AI rules) or elsewhere?
