The requirement for a GitHub account was well known when PEP 581 was

I think it is important to notice that GitHub actively blocks user
registration and activity from countries that are sanctioned by the US
government. At least in 2019 GitHub was blocking users from IPs located
in Cuba, North Corea, Syria, Crimea, Iran, etc (see for example [1]).
They block, of course, users of any nationality, if they happen to be
traveling or living in those countries.

It says that this applied to private repositories and paid organization
repositories but not public, open source repositories. I don't know if
the forks of python needed to submit PRs are affected, but I belive
these are both free and public.

Says that Github has an explicit license to serve Iran and most services
are available in Cuba.
