Yeah, I doubt that's actually workable :(

Sure, you can do something like that, but it has the same basic
"scalability problem" - all the repos need to be created and
maintained on git.postgresql.org.

Plus it requires a push hook at github (because the mail scripts fire
on receive, so it needs to be a push), which I don't think they
support.
