This hardly seems like a serious competitor, given that it doesn’t even really seems to be a thing yet.
Also, a major reason for using Github is going where the audience is. (The social network effect mentioned in the article.) Unless there were some other serious projects using whatever alternative, it’s hard to see how it would be compelling.

https://lwn.net/Articles/775963/ has an article about sr.ht.
In particular, it says:
As mentioned, sr.ht has not taken the approach of being yet another GitHub
clone. Instead, it is geared toward a mailing-list-centric approach, possibly
using the sr.ht mailing list component. The sr.ht-dev mailing list (seen at
right) provides an example of the user interface for that component. Unlike
some other forges or mailing-list replacements, it is not _javascript_-heavy—in
fact, sr.ht uses no _javascript_ at all, so pages are small (less than 10KB on
average) and load quickly.

I think that there may be many IETFers who will see some major advantages.
_javascript_-free, component based, email focused. Probably also software
we can run ourselves.
I haven't had time to try it yet (just signed up for an account), but I will
put a draft or two on it, and see how I like it.
