Hi,
I don't see why we would make a special case for mirror repos on Salsa. Just like other repos, those maintaining the mirror could be held respossible for what is hosted in the mirror, I suppose. If you fear illegal content may get in as you mentioned, please consider not seting up such a mirror.
Hopefully, no Salsa admin will get into legal troubles because of another person mistake or missbehavior. If ones become aware of abuse, please report it like everything else at /salsa/support on salsa.d.org.
If the source of the mirror is well known and accountable for, and it is your opinion it is useful, do it.
Though a mirror just to pretend your package is hosted in Salsa, with all the tooling like MR desactivated brings IMO no value, and is just a waste of resources.
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
P.S: the above is only my personal opinion, but I suspect other Salsa admins could agree with such common sense. :)
