Who will take care of this? Will you still reliably follow through on
doing this in half a year? A year? Five years?

Unless you _really_ want to do that, we will end up with a split brain
at some point.


This is why I asked for automated stuff. You write it once and, unless
things change significantly, it keeps on working.

PS: Automation could be as easy as sending a full list of differing
commits to the other dev list every time something changes. Though that
should be OK'ed by pws for the git list and no idea who on git's side.
