FreeBSD ports git switch vs. github and the like?

Unlike for src, the ports schedule at:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/git

makes no mention of the likes of "Starting pushing
to external mirrors (github, gitlab, etc.)".

But there is activity like:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2021-April/120698.html

where folks are assuming github bindings for gitup
and the like. (People are attempting to figure out
how to avoid portsnap.)

Could https://wiki.freebsd.org/git use some more
notes for these aspects of the svn->git conviersion?

(Note: I do not use portsnap or github for freebsd
materials. I'm just noting what is going on by
some folks that do.)
