I actually noticed this mirror a long time ago. But I don't see why we need to pay attention to this. It does no harm so far. And anyone has the right to mirror the project. It's open-source, after all. So my opinion is to just leave it unless it does anything wrong. |

Yesterday @xhbai noticed that Gitee creates an auto mirror of Engula at https://gitee.com/mirrors/engula, which is unaware of maintainers. I contacted their manager and here is a summary:
My opinion is that asking them to take down. For our users, we will distribute the binary or source code tarball in every release, the mirror isn't quite useful. For our developers, since we mainly develop on GitHub, if they meet troubles to work with GitHub, it's less useful to have an auto mirror to clone. And anyway, there're many approaches to speed up downloading; for example, they can create a mirror with help of Gitee themselves.
Here is the original conversation:
如果不需要这个镜像我们可以删除
我们已经在镜像仓库增加了明显的提示了,不会再做任何改动
放在 mirrors 账号下都是自动的,如果是项目维护者主动的,都是挂在维护者名下的
我们官方可以撤下,但是如果是其他用户镜像的,我们就管不了的
我建议,如果你们完全不考虑国内用户的话,可以撤下。 如果考虑的话,应该维护者主动来做这个同步。建一个你们合适的账号,然后我们可以把这个镜像的仓库转移到你们名下
