I agree with you. But I have a consideration for current status for renesas-cip repository.
I think the current repository is under development. It looks Renesas's upstreaming effort for CIP. We can refer the repository to test the CIP kernel with Renesas backported patches on Renesas RZ/G as one of CIP reference board.
In this case, the repository can be mirroed Renesas's account or cip-playground on GitLab. But I also think GitHub (or any other place) is still an option for them, if it is under development.
Once the backported patches succesfully merged with linux-cip, we can use linux-cip on GitLab to test the Renesas RZ/G.

Yoshi
