Nassar (cc-ed) suggests two more options:

   4. Use NFS to share the repository between sourceware.org and
      gnutoolchain-gerrit.osci.io

   5. Redirect Git traffic from sourceware.org to
      gnutoolchain-gerrit.osci.io (using an HTTP 302 in apache config
      for https traffic, netcat for git://, ...)

If it's straightforward to set up NFS in this environment, then (4) is
a good option.

Option (5) might be fussy for people pushing over ssh.  (1a) seems
like a simpler approach in that direction.
