[webkit-dev] Github vs. git.webkit.org

[Hajime Morrita]

It looks github supports mirroring by pulling a repo from official location.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11370239/creating-an-official-github-mirror

So we might be able to rename the existing one and ask github to pull our
git.webkit.org repository into github/WebKit/webkit.
Apparently Apache takes that way: https://github.com/apache
The "mirroring" icon indicates kind of official-ness.

I don't know how long their mirroring delay is, though.
