Archive.org can resurrect github projects.
i.e. https://web.archive.org/web/20221115012936/https://codeload.github.com/monero-project/monero/zip/refs/heads/master
This idea has been discussed already in the gitmonero project https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/408#note_22516
Relevant comment...
At the last Monero Community Workgroup meeting, there were some discussions.
The main points are that Git is decentralized, backups are already in place and have been tested, Wownero has a mirror.
The hosting is quite inexpensive, and is very simple to set up. I believe that a CCS is too much for something this small.
I also just began hosting a mirror (and a Gitea server for anyone who wants to use it) over Tor.
It can also function as a way for people from censored countries to access/interact with the source code. As I have said before as a privacy project you cannot afford to keep the code in one vulnerable place (GitHub).
