If this platform will become a de-facto common way to made
contributions (and this may happen taking into account github's
popularity), then platform unavailability or policy changes may
hurt the whole development process.
Please forgive me for repeating myself once more, but I was
directly asked "how", so... Github is not just a git server, this
is a platform with numerous instruments and auxiliary data. In case
of any negative change all these data (issues, code reviews and so
on) will be lost. And there is no clean way to migrate these data
to another facilities. Thus we will have a classic web-based
lock-in with all lock-in driven consequences.
Best regards,
Andrew Savchenko
