Adam Borowski's point is that if you have a single person administering the distro's infrastructure it does not matter if the infrastructure is an autonomous one or if it's hosted on GitHub: all the distro's developers are still going to be locked out of the repository if that person vanishes. It's a redundancy of people that's needed, not (just) of infrastructure.
