Yes, absolutely. Apologies if that's not clear from the website. GITenberg started as an experimental fork of PG, but due to the work of Eric Hellman at the Free Ebook Foundation, much of the infrastructure such as metadata formats, CI/CD for building books, and DVCS backend are being ported upstream to the Project Gutenberg infrastructure.

Most visibly, the generated covers, which have roots at NYPL and Bookalope, went into PG via GITenberg.

OP here, I doubt that the website is "a SUBSET of Project Gutenberg". This is not mentioned anywhere in the website. As mentioned in PG website, while you can use the book freely, "The name 'Project Gutenberg' is a registered trademark.". I guess this is the reason they didn't mention PG.
