Hello,

thanks for heads-up.

I had been tracking the GIT repos on dev.gnupg.org which also stopped
working /reliably/ a couple of weeks ago.

ametzler@:libgpg-error$ git pull
fatal: unable to access 'https://dev.gnupg.org/source/libgpg-error.git/': Failed to connect to dev.gnupg.org:443 after 93 ms: Could not connect to server

Are the mirrored repos on https://github.com/gpg blessed, i.e. can I
rely on them being kept up to date?
