Who is running the following GitHub repository?

    https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs

Some people seem to be confused by this and are sending Pull Requests
there, which presumably means that the proposed patches never reach us.

I think we should find out who runs it and ask them to please:

1. Update the repository description to clearly explain where to report
   bugs, send patches and feature requests.

2. Close the open pull requests.  (The more PR's are open, the more it
   encourages others to open more.)

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

Just adding @tarsius and @purcell to the discussion, because I'm pretty
sure at least one of them knows who to redirect to :-)

Kind regards,
Philippe

Is there any good reason for that repo to exist?
Maybe it should not.

Are you sure you're thinking of

  https://github.com/emacs-mirror

and not Jonas'

  https://github.com/emacsmirror

?

I don't know either.

I have tried to contact them by opening an issue, but they ignored that.
It's not possible to open issues in this repository anymore (or look at
old ones), but since Github doesn't allow disabling pull-requests, that
can still be used to attempt contact.  Just make sure to use a very
engaging subject line and be very patient. :/

I see that the repository page displays the README from the root
directory. Maybe put a section in there saying “We know there are
mirrors on Github; none of those are official and if you send pull
requests they *will most likely* be ignored and you *may be but not
guaranteed to be* laughed at. Instead, please send your contributions
by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug”. (Rephrase for kindness if
necessary.)

The existence of two github repos with those names is confusing in
itself.

If those repos serve useful purposes, could people please move them
off of github?  We give github a failing grade on ethical grounds.
