Without going into our technical structure - yes and no. However, we

ourselves. However, at this point gnulib effectively has a dependency
on git to use -- depends on how you feel about that how problematic
that is.
I believe Pádraig Brady, who maintains Coreutils, also manages the
GitHub mirror for Coreutils and Gnulib [1].
GitHub makes it pretty easy to get snapshots from branches and specific
commits [2]. Not sure it that fits your use case, but I figured it was
worth mentioning.
Thank you. I have seen that, and it is an option we are considering, but comes
with its own tradeoffs.
Appreciate the reply regardless.
