Ask before you spend the money, stick it in the contract. If you don't like the answer don't sign the contract.

  There's no universe where a typical tiny customer is going to be able to impose policy on a large vendor, and there's just not that many vendors in this space. So, yes, I could go with "We're not going to use Github or Gitlab or any similar vendor because they don't meet our needs in this respect" but then I'm probably going to spend a bunch of time explaining to my board why we're reimplementing issue tracking and CI and that's likely to be some rough chuckles.

    Either github's systems are good enough for you to use, or they aren't. If they aren't, you need to find or implement something that is good enough.
