There is stickiness. Low entry burden for contributer is the key point why huge projects use GitHub instead of other platforms.
And me registering at dozen of platforms, reading the legal stuff, learning the platform,... And when I finally successful submit a one line patch (how: no idea) the maintainer has a fair 50% chance of dropping it. That is not what I will do. And I will not be alone :).
