I strongly disagree with this. The benefits for collaboration from
being able to easily see who has forked your repo, to post comments on
their code asking about upstreaming, and so on are huge.
GitHub is far more than just a hosting service (though one that has an
issue tracker that integrates tightly with the revision control
system, and a decent code review system), it’s also a social platform
and that’s where the majority of its value lies.

I concur. We're talking about a "number of people" who would prefer
Savannah, but the amount of people actually submitting code is very low.
Just going to Savannah's website makes me feel like this is a dead
project.
If - for whatever reason - you later come to the conclusion that GitHub
was not the right choice, migrating elsewhere is a matter of hours.
If I were Greg, I'd also consider moving the whole project away from
FSF. While I recognize the importance FSF has (had) for open source,
just the need to do a snail mail round-trip with FSF to be allowed to
contribute is a great obstacle for any FSF project. And I can tell you,
a legally worthless one in my case - the Czech law explicitly forbids
reassigning copyright except in well-defined cases (employee to employer
and inheritance after author's death).
