Why are the URLs changing and not stable? Should we expect to have to sed our repositories ever few months as OSGeo changes its infrastructure over and over again?

For reference, the GitHub "mirror" hasn't moved, has 80 forks and nearly 30 people watching it https://github.com/osgeo/geos The base of contributors who wish to participate is there. Is easier to get a bank account than an OSGeo ID nowadays. It's like this project doesn't want people to contribute.

Why must this project keep tilting at this windmill?
