No, it menas that GitHub advertises .git as "proper" repo url and that the OpenWrt repo should be used over lede-project.
https://help.github.com/en/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use
The wiki already advertises the Github mirror.
If appropriate? I'll attempt to change the URL in the quick guide? Thoughts? I've found I have rights to change some pages but not others, so that's the reason why I said "attempt" 
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images
There are no special restrictions on the quickstart page, i.e. every logged in user can edit it.

Out of curiosity where are you located?
At that time the local traffic egressed into WAN through a node in Central Europe. After noticing the snail pace ran some bandwidth throughput tests and none came up with an indication of an issue.
I'm in the U.S, and the same thing happens to me when I try to use git.openwrt.org which is located in Europe.
So I wonder if we aren't in a bit trading war with Europe? lol
Actually, I just tried, and didn't have any issues. It would be the first time I have tried in probably close to a month.
All public links should point to a source that provides better fault tolerance and load balancing.
Those who really need to access the primary source should be able to do it on their own.
