Their use of those names predates the policy (and the git trademark), projects like that got exceptions.

  So GitHub.com is blessed, but no newcomers can use it? Cool...so exclusive. /s

    I mean at least GitHub and gitlab actually have something to do with git.

      But if I make an even better gitlabhub app at metagit.com, I'll be in violation.

        Unless you ask the SFC for permission to use their trademark. They're pretty reasonable people. Alternatively, you could name your project $FOO and host your Git service on `git.$FOO.tld`.

  I wish this applied to (or would get enforced against) Gitcoin, which doesn't actually have anything--afaik--to do with git (it is just attempting to fund open source development in general, and seems to have just glommed onto "git" as "I guess this has something to do with open source").
