It is not hard, it is plain unacceptable for certain people.
Call that religious reasons.
Using github is similar to our requirement to match the code
style when submitting patches. It's non-negotiable, because
there's no good reason not to do it. You just remove those
tabs, then get on with it.
No it is not. GitHub is an intrusive closed ecosystem and it is
legitimate concern for anyone caring about the open internet.
The fact that I have considered D contribution more important
than this concern and the fact that you consider such reasoning
silly does not make it less legit and/or widespread. If you
don't want these contributions - just ignore it, someone else
will take care. But please avoid this pseudo-pragmatical
"non-negotiable" bullshit, at least in public.
It's easy to install a gogs server and upload all the git
repositories there.
In fact, I do have a gogs server for my private development. It
used to be a GitLab server, until I found about gogs.
GitLab looks and feels like GitHub, just with your own URL. Gogs
has less features (lacks groups and pull requests), but it uses
fewer resources.
Therefore it is possible to get all the technical benefits of
GitHub and none of the political concerns.
