Because it's not automated, somebody has to manually 'git push
gitorious' on their banshee checkout.  I've heard of a way to combine
two remotes into one push (basically put two URLs on one remote), but
I think there was some downside.

The gitorious copy is an experiment - maybe it's not really that useful.
