A few did in the early days for ideological reasons, but Microsoft have actually done a surprisingly good job (so far) of just leaving GitHub alone, so it seems to be more popular than ever. > I do not know if the Qgis project has considered this option, but it > seems to me that there is nothing I can do to solve what appears to > be ongoing issues between MS and Google and therefore there is no > obvious other solution to address the problems I have with my login, > other than changing to a non-Google email account. This is one of the drawbacks of relying on a third party for a service that you deem critical - and one of the reasons why I run my own e-mail server. Sure it's a lot more work, but I don't have to worry about the whims of a corporation I have no control over. Having said that, I did not realise GitHub offered e-mail as a 2FA option. I have only ever used TOTP, which is an "offline" method as it doesn't require Internet access to work. If you're having issues with e-mails taking too long to get delivered, I suggest switching to TOTP for 2FA as per GitHub's guidelines: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/configuring-two-factor-authentication You don't have to use the apps they recommend. Personally I started off with Google Authenticator but as I wanted my codes on multiple devices, I ended up switching to the command-line "oathtool" program from the OATH Toolkit (https://www.nongnu.org/oath-toolkit/). Whenever I need to log in to GitHub, I have a script that runs "oathtool --totp -b 12345" where 12345 is the key GitHub gave me when I set up TOTP, and the program spits out a six digit code. I enter that code into the GitHub login page and I'm in, no need for e-mail.
