I don't understand this fear. All repositories on GitHub can be hosted elsewhere. Moving metadata (e.g. issues, milestones, PRs, etc.) is more difficult but mostly possible.
Disclaimer: I like that GitHub is the "central" place for OSS, it makes my life much easier. I know how to use the product very well and it's convenient having almost every project that interests me available there.
