CMF packages on svn.zope.org

Hi,

svn.zope.org seems to be down again, breaking our entire CI setup (not
the first time). As far as I know all zope packages have been moved to
github already. Though, it seems the CMF project made the decision not
to move their packages to github. Which is totally fine. Though, since
svn.zope.org is really unreliable, I think we have to find a solution
that works for us.

Some of the CMF packages seems to be on github anyways, but they are not
considered to be the canonical ones:

https://github.com/zopefoundation/Products.GenericSetup/pull/3

I haven't been involved into any discussion with the Zope or the CMF
project, can anybody give me an update on the situation and the current
status of the packages that we still use from CMF?

If we are using our own branches anyways (not sure if this is the case),
wouldn't it make sense to fork or at least mirror the packages that we
need on github to get a more reliable setup? This would also allow us to
put post-commit hooks on the github repos, because so far Jenkins can
not detect any changes from those packages, making it really hard to
find possible regressions introduced by those packages.

Cheers,
Timo
