You also maintained a author mappnig file or such, didn't you? 
github has one advantage over gitorious: You can access it using SVN.
Whether this outweights being open source only (which gitorious is) - I
don't know. Several people on this list preferred gitorious for that way.

I'm attaching the tested cron job scritps which can be used for checking out
and keeping the mirrors up to date automatically.

They differ from the default: They put the remote branches into refs/heads
instead of refs/remotes/origin or the like.

This way you can push them directly to github or gitorious.

Those settings can be found in the [svn-remote "svn"] section below.
