Collaborating on multiple platforms would make sense if not everyone used GitHub. It's the kind of thing that can be solved on a needed basis. As far as I know the only thing people hate about GitHub is it was proven copilot was stealing code from repos where it ignored licenses completely for collecting more training data.
Your account being banned probably does fall under incentivised interests, aka circumventing censorship. Your country can literally say ban X or we ban your platform from our country. I'm not sure why you wouldn't do such things under a burner anyway given you're also breaking laws. The expectation should be that you don't make it.

- whatyesaid 4y agoThat's true, but you don't get pull request and issues discussions from just a git clone.
- xigoi 4y agoWell, that's GitHub's fault for not using a standard protocol for those. The traditional GitHub way to send and discuss patches is e-mail.
