Python is not using Github as a package management system. Python keeps it's packages on Pypi, which is a simpler and more specific product than Github, and seems to have a higher average uptime as a result. More importantly, the Pypi project is open source, which means I can set up a Pypi server inside my company to host private and/or critical packages and configure it to go upstream for anything I request but don't have locally. The Python strategy is a considered strategy that provides acceptable business continuity options. I don't give a shit where you store your source code, that's /your/ business continuity problem.

- Um maybe I am stupid but you can't simply just post things on Pypi and have contributors involved pypi is a final step???? If you have any contributors you have it on github (normally) or any other git you want and then push it to pypi. THis is why any major library of Python is developed on Github. I actually don't use github for anything except my public open source code, but almost every single Python library is on github and then pushed to pypi as a final step.
