I don't see an issue using github. Recently Microsoft showed interest
for Linux and open source:
They are a member of the Open Invention Network, alongside Linux
distributions including Slint :-) so they signed an agreement like
this one http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/agreement.pdf
which protect all members.
Recently they did their best to protect youtube-dl from a DMCA takedown:
https://youtube-dl.org/
https://github.blog/2020-11-16-standing-up-for-developers-youtube-dl-is-back/
Additionally I prefer the interface of github over gitlab's
In the (unlikely, I think) event that github be taken down, it will
still be possible to time to find another home for speakup, I think.
Just my two euro cents.
Cheers, Didier

Just one note: it may not be important enough, but whatever the problem
may or may not be with github, it is far more accessible as a site than
gitlab. I don't think gitlab fixed accessibility, ever.

Hi Samuel et al: That works fine for me. I haven't really had much to
do with development work on speakup for a longg time. You had an
account on my server but I see it appears to have disappeared sometime
over the years for no reason I can think of.

Hello,
Currently we have an old git repository on
http://linux-speakup.org/speakup.git , that was not updated since
~2013. I don't seem to have push access to it. We also have some
bug tracking on https://github.com/bytefire/speakup/issues . This
looks quite scattered, and github.com depends on the good will
of Microsoft. I'm thinking that we could have speakup hosted on
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org (freedesktop is a "completely volunteer
organisation with no corporate backing or funding stream", notably part
of X.org). We can keep the mailing list as it is, but we could move the
git repository and the issue tracking there, where it is easy to create
accounts, give rights, follow-up on bugs etc. I have made a request for
a speakup group creation to freedesktop people.
The idea is that on that repository we could host the latest version of
the speakup source code, so that people can try it without having to
patch and rebuild their whole kernel etc.
Samuel
