Feedback on GitHub as follows…
1. No Lock-In - What automated data export is available?
We want to be able to leave and take all our data with us. "Data" here
includes: review comments, pull requests / patches (including metadata),
old (rejected) pull requests and metadata, issue tracker entries and
comments (if issue tracker included). This archiving should be
automated, not something we do by hand.
Untested, but might these all be easily satisfied by subscribing a mailing list
to GitHub notifications?

No, they are insufficient.
Following the last link above ("about-email-notifications"), one finds
several other links; and one of those is:

This article says,
GitHub sends participating notifications when you're directly
involved in activities or conversations within a repository or a
team you're a member of. You'll receive a notification when:
[...]
- You open, comment on, or close an issue or pull request.
[...]
This is demonstrably false. I'm a member of the TianoCore organization,
I have commented on, and closed (rejected):
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/133
and I *never* received an email notification about my *own* comment /
action. I only received the initial email, about the pull request being
opened (attached for reference).
Try going to the "Settings" item under the menu in the top-right corner,
and clicking on the "Notifications" tab on the left. Under "Email
notification preferences" there should be a checkbox for "Include your
own updates". That may do what you need.
