Upstream being newer than a mirror is not a bug. (Could be a cron job 
updating it, or similar.)

The mirror on microsoft github offers web browsing of the history, but 
git.busybox.net is the cannonical repository you can pull from according 
to https://busybox.net/source.html . The busybox website at OSUOSL no 
longer offers a browseable web version of the repository because LLM 
slop crawlers no more respect resource limits than they respect 
intellectual property ownership.

A mirror lagging behind upstream is not a significant issue.

P.S. I have not spoken to Denys about this, it just seems obvious?
