We could use the /n/sources/contrib directory from 9p.io as the future
main contrib repository, but we never know when plan9.bell-labs.com will be back.

At some point in the past, plan9.bell-labs.com was down for many weeks= ,
so some people started to submit patches to 9p.io, but it became an issue
once plan9.bell-labs.com was back because we had to synchronize
the repositories.

That's why I would consider 9p.io to be a read-only mirror of
plan9.bell-labs.com for now.
