People are doing that a few different ways at present. Short version it
is plausible and we may try to come up with a better unified method of
doing so. I can help with specifics for process draft at a www.w3.org U
RI.

Most have decommissioned their mercurial repo when they move to github
(with a redirect) and I think that is the preferred practice. In fact
we would like to retire dvcs.w3.org or rather mercurial and perhaps
have dvcs.w3.org a live checkout of master (or gh-pages) branch of all
github.com/w3c repos but this is a bigger picture item beyond this
discussion.
