As a general rule, no - we don't want to end up having to maintain and
review the result of something like that, and the system is simply not set
up to compartmentalize those things enough.

However, there is a generic hook that's there and can be used. This is the
hook we use to send commit messages. It also has functionality to "ping" a
http url whenever it receives a push. This is what we use to trigger an
update of the repository browser on redmine.postgresql.org for example.

Perhaps this ping url could be used to trigger the mirror job for you?
