Re: github mirror of lilypond?

Yes, I’m open for both GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and similar «complete development 
environments» (or whatever it’s called.) I’ve been working in GitHub the last 
years, and it’s so nice to have a decent bugtracker, a great review tool, a 
great git web interface, and more, all in one place. It really saves 
development time and gets rid of a lot of developer frustrations.

I strongly dislike Gerrit, it's really hard to learn and even after
some time I still can't figure out how to use it correctly.
Both GitHub and GitLab (on gitlab.com) would be a great improvement.
Not sure though if this is "allowed" for GNU projects (it's probably
not about the license, but being "GNU LilyPond").
