Re: Mirrors and code hosting

We used to have a mirror in Gitlab and then they moved that feature out
of their free offering. I looked at the form they wanted filled in to
validate us as a FOSS project. It was essentially impossible to fill in
without lying. You need to either be a purely single-person project or
have an organisation or foundation. So we don't have a Gitlab mirror
anymore and I tend to avoid them.

This issue I see here is that the gitlab mirror appears to still be up but
hasn't been updated since around Dec 14, 2022. When doing an update
I get the following message:

  Repository is up to date.
  zsh-5.9-85-g67d4bf5bb

You can still clone the repository.

  git clone https://gitlab.com/zsh-org/zsh.git

I guess the question is why have it if it is out of date?

Regards,

Jim Murphy
