"What is your idea?"
That when the GitHub apocalypse finally comes, free software will be very
hurt indeed.
I don't think this is something to be overly concerned about, to be honest.
GitHub isn't that great, but moving from one Git repository to another isn't
difficult. I've done it multiple times. The SGE Game Engine used to be hosted
on GitHub before I moved it to Savannah (actually, there was
I think you're overlooking what happens when so many people are in one place.
It's not about how easy it is to edit .git/config to change the remote
origin. Even though things like bugs and such can be exported out of GitHub,

GitHub is where the "cool kids are at" and if you have a resume or want to
apply for something like speaking at a conference about your software, they
usually have you include link to your GitHub.
I know that Jason doesn't like GitLab either, but have you tried Gogs from

The Free Software camp will always opt for a local installation like GitLab
or Gogs to run their copyleft code, while the "open source" camp will
gravitate towards GitHub and permissive licenses.
