I won't use github for my own projects because I don't agree with their politics. (If you're ok with them, good for you. I won't stop you.) Mandating github for everybody is a Bad Idea.

What do you disagree with? I am receptive to this kind of argument, I am honestly curious for specifics.

  Presumably the fact that they take down repositories that disagree with their politics (or the politics of other governments). They also don't appear to put up any fight against DMCA's, and they mandate that all users must run proprietary JavaScript. LibreJS makes the site mostly work though, so it's not that bad. The biggest problem is their policies, which are not pro-free-software (no matter what they might say).

  That's irrelevant, really. Just that standardizing on a particular business for all repositories will never please everyone. See if there's a better solution.
