I have not set it up yet because Sourcehut does not support HTTP push
(To my knowledge atleast) but Gitea also has repository mirroring
feature.

https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/repo-mirror/

It can be set up in the repository settings. I do not know if it needs
extra setup from
the server side to work in the Gitea instance.

I will test it with GitLab and let you know if it does not work.

Ps. I hope I'm sending these responses into right place, mailing lists
are confusing to use.
