We'd need a similar "bot account" for all other mirrors, and share
credentials with whoever runs the mirroring script (that's me IIRC,
unless Regina has a record of having moved mirroring scripts to
postgis.net infra).

I suggest you create such accounts for GitHub and store information
about it int the appropriate page:

  https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GitHub

Security would need to be handled at SAC level, so if you want to
maintain such a bot account please join SAC too:

NOTE that a bot account on GitLab is already registered, see
