Just curious, is there a backup plan for D if github.com goes

Now that there seems to be community back-lash against it (at
least on
reddit) maybe a contingency plan would be useful.
Obviously not today or tomorrow, but you never know what's
down the road.
The only thing that we have hosted on Github is code.
So excluding integrations, we could move over to Bitbucket
without too many problems.
I really wouldn't worry about it. Sure it would upset and add a
lot of extra work but we sure won't be the only ones in that
position.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of valuable info in the PR comments,
that would be lost if github.com went down. Since D never
switched from bugzilla to github for bugs, that wouldn't be an
issue. Hopefully, we could pull that github PR discussion from a
backup at archive.org or someplace.
