This, mostly. Some of the contributors make mostly small (but important) documentation changes, and for them "Git" is "Github" since the UI makes all of it seemless.
Asking them to create an account on another service to do the same will leave these new contributors scratching heads

Creating a bit of friction for contributors can separate the signal from the noise, leading to more meaningful contributions. We're all familiar with the fiasco and annoyance of #hacktoberfest on GH, and the incessant spam in popular projects and issue trackers. That said, the friction of Sourcehut might be too much even for people with good intentions, since it insists on a very opinionated workflow that's alien to most. The choice of hosting ultimately depends on each project's needs, as mentioned elsewhere.
