GitHub is a proprietary platform, where unlike with the code
repositories, the interactions and issues are not easy to migrate out of
again. It is also now owned by MSFT, and although they are making
friendly noises towards Open Source, I remain largely skeptical (with as
a hint, the stuff they're pulling with AI code completion).

All open-source projects I know and use in relation to PHP development
are on Github (like Composer and Symfony, to just name two big ones),
which in my opinion makes Github an ideal platform for the PHP project
itself, as the barrier of entry is lowered.

This also has the advantage that if Github "becomes evil" (or just gets
worse) for whatever reasons, the PHP project will just be one of many
open-source projects which needs to move to a new place. This gives this
solution a safety in numbers and will probably make it easier to move
rather than harder.
