  • We may want to extend this to include information about backups?

I'm not sure what the value of this page is...

Will this page be linked from anywhere?

Should show up as a subpage of the about section.

I'm not sure what the value of this page is...

Listing all of our repositories and everything we're doing to protect our source code seems like a good thing to document... might as well advertise all the places we back it up as well.

It maybe something known to a few of us, but why not let everyone know? It's pretty impressive how many places our VCS is replicated to in how many forms.

I think in the current state this just results in free advertising for github. We just have to know for ourselves that this exists and hope we never need it.

Perhaps instead of a page on the website, we could include this as an MD file within the source code for Haiku?

I am working on these stale PRs. I would like the PR list to be empty. Do we want this page or not? I feel like it doesn't really hurt anything. I see some typos though so I would want to fix those first, but I can do it here in GitHub.

I think there is benefit to this page. At the very least its a reference point for maintainers, etc. on a bit of our infrastructure which we could expand on more in detail down the line.
