Who owns guix-mirror?

Hi all,

http://github.com/guix-mirror is a mirror for the Guix source code.

I was wondering who owns the mirror as there is no public ownership declared on github.com?

Is it owned by Guix or is it run by a trusted third party,  etc?

Thanks!

It's Marius Bakke (mbakke) and me (nckx).  It probably wouldn't 
hurt to make that list public.  Marius, what say you?

So trusted, and not even third, parties.  You're also trusting 
GitHub, and the mirror *is* completely unofficial.  There's no 
guarantee that the synchronisation won't break just when an 
important security update is pushed to Savannah.

Kind regards,

That would be great if you guys are happy making it public.

All understood - thanks for confirming!

Agreed, I've just stepped out of the darkness by navigating to this
page (took me a while to find it):

  https://github.com/orgs/guix-mirror/people

Awesome logo, by the way!

Indeed.  Thanks for saving me that trouble.  I've now done the 
same.

Thanks :-)  Keeps the PRs away, or at least you can't prove 
otherwise.

you could also enable “temporary interaction limits”[1] in your org
account, which applies to all of its repositories. It’s only valid up
to 6 months, but maybe better than nothing…?

Cheers,

It is!  Thank you.

I've set it to ‘collaborators’ and added a calendar reminder in 6 
months.

It's unknown who runs it, but it's not Guix, see

That's not some weird role-play — I wasn't part of the org when I 
wrote it.

Good to know the owners, and thanks for the mirror! I find a combination of the official repo, GH mirror, and a local copy gives me the right combination of easy searches that work well on each. So I almost always find what I need to copy :)
