What about just putting all of them in a flat structure there without 
changing anything? Of course, having paths back to git.typo3.org is 
maybe not 100% what people expect after cloning from github - but I 
think the intention is more "we have to be on github, too" (which is a 
valid point.. it's really good for browsing code etc.)

As Peter mentioned, if people really want to work with clones from 
there, they could use useInsteadOf. But why should they insist on using 
the github mirror to really code/contribute ;)

Kind regards
Steffen
