At the risk of straying off-topic, an approach I really like (which is
in the spirit of Git being distributed) is to use an open source forge
primarily, with GitHub only as backup.

e.g. https://fennel-lang.org/ uses SourceHut with a GitHub mirror (with
a wiki sadly still on GitHub, but that's a minor matter).

Speaking of GitHub, I should also note that some Fedora projects (just
not packaging) are maintained there.
