There appears to already be a Github mirror, but it sort of misses the 
mark if it's not used as the development platform.

To restate it again, I'd be very happy with a new self-hosted 
Gitlab/Gitea/whatever, I'm just playing devil's advocate because I think 
Github makes a lot of sense for a project like Xfce, except for ethical 
(or whatever you call it) reasons. In terms of improving visibility, 
ease of administration, and making it easier for (new) people to 
contribute, Github (currently) wins hands-down, IMO.
