Yes, the usual hosting was adequate years ago, but now it's overloaded
by too many automated bots crawling all over git and bug pages all the time.

I set up a mirror on github
  https://github.com/vda-linux/busybox_mirror.
and disabled cgit and bugzilla access
to hopefully rectify this a bit.

Unfortunately, my paying job is unrelated to busybox and continues
to keep me too busy to have enough time to fix the hosting problem
in more permanent ways.
