This Idea is so old useful but not set to an result ... discussed, nothing happened, and now after migrating a lot of mods into
gitea.minetest.one I see how FAR the mods area spread ... = difficult to find them
so far my sources:
(found yet, and a part is migrated shown as = 6, mean real unique mod, no fork or copy)
Spoiler
https://git.bananach.space/ (so far very much copy without trace back link to coder)
https://github.com/minetest-mirrors (19) -> migrated to gitea.minetest.one
* BuckarooBanzay ?, and some "Mirrored repositories from unreliable git-hostings"
https://github.com/minetest-mods (157) -> migrated to gitea.minetest.one
* members: Calinou, SmallJoker, sofar, kaeza, Ekdohibs, ShadowNinja, 4Evergreen4, paramat, Gael-de-Sailly, Thomas--S, tenplus1, red-001, FaceDeer, squidKid-deluxe
This project exists to provide a method for minetest players and server operators to have a semi-trusted source of Minetest Mods.

* Wuzzy, luk3yz, BingFengFSX, kay27, rycnf, pithdon, socerykid, Athemis, Yutyo, Hartmund, TheSelf, wuniversales, 2mac
seam to be a bit like wanted, BUT many of them are not as fork signed copies, or easy to see they are the newest
https://git.0cool.org/ (65) but seam to be a mirror-er (also good)
* Dihom, Likom, whosit

... and I am still not ready searching ... and migrating (30.06.2020)
= for me now it is getting much more easy to find a mod, and to find its source
if others might use it, nice. But searching pools for minetest mods are existing this thread is about bound the gits together, as maybe
* one area, one login
* be able to continue lost or forgotten repros (coder died, no fun anymore, no time)
* and sure also easier to maintain the right main repro/mod
* bundle knowledge as one login, to easy help out with code, or
* faster and more quality of important core mods
AS I read above I have only 50/20, and Speedtest tells me:
megabit per second (symbol Mbit/s or Mb/s, often abbreviated "Mbps"
* speedtest.adslthailand.com : Down 215.4 Mb/s / Up 217.6 Mb/s
* speedtest.trueinternet.co.th : Down 215,6 Mb/s / Up 219,0 Mb/s / Latency 2ms
Postgresql tell : 19 MB / gitea-admin ?
As suggested and also limitation as of internet-connection, we just need single area where all engine, game, mods are found and linked to be able to search them more easy. From there to link to that different (liked) git..'s is ok.
If a mirroring might help, I am not sure, as then have to check a repeat time and bandwidth.
But also this solution might prevent also from loosing repros.
migrated is most lua and minetest ...
