Well, basically it is not strictly necessary to have git installed on their
computers to create a mirror.
You can just create the clone on your computer, raw-ly copy the files there,
and then you will be able to push the new changes with an ssh access.
Since git is a distributed source control system, it doesn't require to
configure a server part as with cvs :-)
To my knowledge, the pygr project (also a bioinformatics suite in python)
have an official repository hosted in gitourious, and a mirror in github to
collect patches from there.
