GitHub mirrors

[Kevin Menard <ni...@gmail.com>]

Are the GitHub mirrors under the user "apache" semi-official?  I recall
there being some discussion about it but wasn't sure if someone just
squatted the name.
If it is, I suggest a couple things:

- Add an avatar (gravatar?) for the user account with the ASF logo.
- Sync the list of repositories being mirrored.  I noticed Cayenne is not
listed on GitHub, for example.

They are. We've been in contact with the Github people about it and
they've reserved the "apache" account for us.

We don't have direct control of the account as with all the mirroring
settings it's not really a "normal" Github account. Instead I've been
in contact with the Github guys on any changes we've needed.

Good idea, I'll ping them about that.

You're right, quite a few mirrors are missing. They created the
initial mirrors during the ApacheCon when we were still setting up
git.apache.org. I'll ask them about the current status.
