The infra team discussed this some time ago and since Github does nothing to lock up the resources we care about, and exposes our code to a much wider (*1000 at least) group of developers, among other reasons, judged it OK. Having a PR-based workflow has helped the team be a lot more agile at no cost to the freedom of our code. Be that as it may, there is now pagure, and I imagine many if not all of these repos will be moving there. Incidentally, pagure has some functionality to allow bidirectional code movement with Github, which gets the best of both worlds. If someone doesn't like making a Github account, in the interim they're still free to fork as would be usual for any repo (including hundreds of projects we carry in Fedora repositories), and send a patch to the list. -- Paul W.
