The .NET Foundation wanting admin access to repos of projects under the .NET Foundation umbrella is very much not the same thing as how the people who run GitHub could backdoor any repo they like whenever they want, obviously they can they have the source code to the hosting platform.
Except that's pretty hard to do without developers noticing because you'd need to engineer some hash collisions to get their local git clones to accept the code changes.
So let's limit the paranoia to where it actually applies, shall we? The .NET Foundation has made a right mess of this, but it's not the same thing as Microsoft trying to backdoor all open source code on GitHub. I'm pretty sure the people there are smart enough to realise how much that would backfire.
