[OTHER] Consider mirroring the repos to Codeberg

[throwaway-d]

I believe you should mirror your repo to Codeberg because:

1. Codeberg is libre, free, open-source, privacy-friendly, non-profit
2. GitHub is privacy-invasive, proprietary
3. People on Codeberg like me can contribute to the project
4. GitHub can take down your repos

Here are some sources for you:

1. https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub
2. Github is not humane tech. Move this to a freedom-respecting place humanetech-community/awesome-humane-tech#33
3. leave Github ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium#1894

5. Migration to independent platform for provision of source code andersju/webbkoll#35

Many front-ends also are living on Codeberg at the moment:

FAQ

1. Q: - GitHub Actions -- this is a huge time saver for me
   - Forcing all contributors to modify their current setup and move to another hosting -- we may just lose contributors in the end

   A: As I said, we only just mirror. The repo will be available and contributable on both sites.

2. Q: - Transferring issues -- is this possible? Issues here represent a technical knowledge base we can't live without
   - Transferring wiki and all edit history -- possible?

   A: Yes, it is possible.
   a. Example for issues:

• Migration to independent platform for provision of source code andersju/webbkoll#35
• https://codeberg.org/dataskydd.net/webbkoll/issues/35
• [UI/UX] Simplification of the user interface for non-technical people andersju/webbkoll#33
• https://codeberg.org/dataskydd.net/webbkoll/issues/33
• Framed answers? - Locations zyachel/quetre#7
• https://codeberg.org/zyachel/quetre/issues/7

b. Example for commits:

• https://codeberg.org/dataskydd.net/webbkoll/commit/6ddfbc6c71ab92f754252dd4904cf49fb19672a6
• andersju/webbkoll@6ddfbc6

c. Example for wiki:

• https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Home/_history?page=2
• https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Home?action=_revision

3. Q: Despite having mirror/s, the project will still continue to be operated from GitHub for development, so having yet another mirror doesn't solve anything.

   A: You can create issues, contribute, view the repos on there without going to GitHub! Example:

• https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect
• https://codeberg.org/LibRedirect/libredirect
• https://github.com/zyachel/quetre
• https://codeberg.org/zyachel/quetre

4. Q: How does Codeberg mirror comments from GitHub?

   A: It uses Access Token.
   

5. Q: My repos are very bandwidth-intensive projects, and I have my doubts as to whether the owner(s) of Codeberg would be prepared for such a massive bandwidth rate increase. I've also had individual projects be disabled on small sites before due to taking too much bandwidth.

   A: Oh.. I think you should directly ask https://docs.codeberg.org/contact/ about if they are ready for massive bandwidth rate increase.
