I think there should most definitely be an official github mirror of
the main tree, just a "read-only" mirror from githubs perspective.
Just how to best do the mirroring is the question
a) Replicate to github when a user does 'push' with a server-side push hook?
( Downside: if github goes down, gentoo devs will see it when
they push, and pushing takes longer because the output from the
replicated push is delivered to the original dev )
b) Daemonized hook that monitors for changes in the master repo, and
replicates commits to github after each push
c) Tie it with the rsync tree building system so every time the tree
is built for rsync clients, the master is replicated to github.
Also, this should obviously be force-pushed, so any branch rebases on
the master repo are replicated to the github mirror properly.
