Can we have a static website at git.wikimedia.org with some dev curated phab links to the most important projects ?

The software that has been serving git.wikimedia.org, Gitblit, has given our Operations team many headaches over the years[0] and now that we have all repositories hosted in Phabricator[1] there is no reason to keep Gitblit around. Phabricator's Diffusion (the name of the code browser) provides the needed functionality that Gitblit served (mostly viewing/browsing repositories, something which Gerrit does not do).
I hear this with dismay. When I wanted to view the repository online in the past, I always ended up heading to git.wikimedia.org, since I was unable to *find* the repository at phabricator. At most, phabricator showed a somewhat related diffusion commit.
Gitblit may not be the most suited software regarding technical stability, but diffusion is far from having an acceptable UI, I'm afraid.
