I fully agree that GitHub is popular, but it is a pet peeve of mine to point out that alternatives exist, just like other people will complain if an Open Source project runs its mailing list on Google or so. With GitHub in the hands of a commercial company I fear that before too long they'll do something stupid to monetize the user base; this has happened countless times before. As the old adage goes, "if you're not paying for the product then you are the product".
I agree it's not ideal to use a closed and commercial solution for such an important thing like development and issue tracking. I believe the way OSM does it currently is the correct one - maintain own Git repos plus mirror them on Github. So I guess the main question is about issue tracking and maintainer support - here there is no easy way to mirror stuff...
