For that to remain true, there must be no advantage specifically to
GitHub except as a commodity repository host. So all the verbiage about
specific GitHub features in this PEP are undermined.

On the other hand, if GitHub is being recommended specifically because
of features that cannot be migrated elsewhere (such as its proprietary
pull requests), then it is not possible to argue that Git alone is
sufficient to realise these advantages.
