Because we have nothing to lose by mirroring our repos there and we

You're entitled to your opinion but you must be aware that some people
disagree. Actually, is there a way for maintainers that don't want to
have their module on Github to opt out of this mirroring process?

While I too am surprised that GNOME didn't choose to mirror on gitorious
first, I don't think it's inherently bad that they're mirroring on
github as long as it's just used for mirroring. You can think of it as
another way/place to spread Free Software.

My question: can't we *also* mirror on gitorious? In addition, if
git.gnome.org really dies, can at least have a trusted second copy ?

Cheers!
