Comment (by pento):

 So, trying to understand the magic of git mirrors, I think this is what we
 need:

 * A new user on GitHub (say, `wordpressdotorg`), with `push` permissions
 to `WordPress/wordpress-develop`.
 * On the w.org Git server, add `wordpressdotorg`'s private key to
 `~/.ssh/config`, as:
 {{{
 Host github.com
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github
 }}}
 * Add to the `post-receive` file: `git push -f --mirror
 git at github.com:WordPress/wordpress-develop.git`

 Can a git expert please confirm/deny this process? It seems far too simple
 to be the correct way to do things with git.
