I did not assume that and I am not aware of anyone expressing that belief.

from what I understand, you have it hosted on a mythic beasts VPS, with manual
backups to your laptop. feel free to elaborate, if you like.

I think having git mirrors is useful for 4 reasons:
1. it is what drives CI, eventually having CI on more repos is imho a good idea
(the additional repos are just mirrors for now).

2. salsa.debian.org has a much nicer interface, so things like git blame
actually can be used there rather than having to download the git repo and run
blame locally (even then, local git blame has a worse UI imo). There are also
other nice features, such as being able to easily compare two
branches/tags/commits without having to manually type in the proper url as is
needed for git.libre-soc.org.

3. it increases libre-soc.org's visibility somewhat.

4. if libre-soc.org goes down or is blocked, salsa.debian.org likely won't
simultaneously be down/blocked
