[Freeswitch-dev] mirror to GitHub?

[Mitch Capper]

It is true it is just GH is a more familiar workflow for many people and
they already have accounts.  We are just talking about a mirror, not the
official repo.  IF GH changes their practices down the line then it could
go away.   It isn't an issue to have an unofficial mirror but it would seem
an official mirror is also not a big deal.
