We ought to document all this, on general principles of running GCC in an
open manner.  Except for individual specific cases, which should be
documented (e.g. the actual subscriber lists for the mailing lists),
everything involved should be in CVS repositories that are accessible by
anoncvs and anon rsync, or, if not appropriate for CVS (e.g. the GNATS
database) by anon rsync, so anyone could in principle clone the project
using rsync or keep their own backups of the whole project (and the
pressures against forking this way should be purely social, cf
Homesteading the Noosphere) - and the details of exactly what you need to
rsync for a copy of the whole project should be documented.
