To see how well it scales a couple more sourceware projects now have a
mirror on the forge: https://forge.sourceware.org/explore/organizations
gcc, binutils-gdb, glibc, elfutils, newlib, valgrind, debugedit,
bunsen, annobin, bzip2, cgen, dwz, insight, libabigail and systemtap.

If you are interested in others, please just ask.

It isn't necessary, but it is a good place to discuss the forge
experiment. You don't have to be subscribed to post and you can read
the archives through https://inbox.sourceware.org/forge (also through
nntp, imap, atom or git cloning the whole thing).

Cheers,
